M5 / LEMANS X5 STYLE MIRRORS
 

OK, like the led tailights, a manufacturer does not exist yet. But I have been looking to do this mod for a while now and have been talking to a number of manufacturers that make M3/M5 style mirrors. If I can get enough people interested then it may be possible. The mirrors will be fully electric, Anti Fog, Dual Wide Angle Blue Tinted Lens with Heated function. The manufacturers already makes the M5 style mirrors with auto fold which will work with the X5 however, for those "without" auto fold I have also asked the question of manual fold. To give you an idea of the mirrors here is a pic!

I would speak with Hagus in Germany. (www.hagus.de)

Thanks

Like the idea. Will they auto-fold?

The Hagus do not (they are e36 M3 style). Not sure if they make any for the X though.

The ones I'm looking at will auto fold, have auto tilt on passanger side when reversing, and all electrics/heated. Basically the same setup as the X5. Thats if I can get a company interested enough and enough people to buy in.

i would be intrested, the one thing i dont like about my X is the big huge mirrors LOL

keep us updated man.

definitely interested as well

Im in .....autos pls.

Im in depending on pricing..

But they are sure functional! I'm so use to the huge mirrors on the X that I feel somewhat rearward blind everytime I get into a 3er and look into the dinky mirrors

Any futher development with the LeMans style mirrors??

I'm down 100%. :thumbup:

+1

count me in!

+3

Manufacture for LED does exist in Taiwan. Mirrors are nice, but whole body kit would be much better. I still don’t understand why ACS, Hamann and others create those ugly bodykits, can’t they just copy Lemans? Is it copyrighted…?

I'd be in for the mirrors too...

Count me in too. I prefer the mirrors folding inside or vertical upright. :thumbup:

+1 depending on price!

me too for my x3 even for manual folding

Just a notice

BMW changed the control system for the mirrors from production sept 2003, as far as i know no manufacturer has ben able to tap into the new control system. Most of them make mirror that will fit the orignal mirror motor

Look into this before order.

Ps. Hamman has M3 Style mirrors for X5

Count me in.

Count me in

Any news ?

Hi huskvarn,

I have not found or heard anything yet. I jumped on this thread to help with the buy count but came in a little late form the time it was posted.

Ask E5MIR; he is the one that might know more. Thanks

I maybe interested pending cost$

Sounds good; this thread might stillbe going

Yop, when I see the X5 Le Mans video I'm crazy how it's looks !!
I've a Stallgraumetallic '03 and plan to remove roof bar and put clear headlight...
So, to be continued !

What do you have planned? It sounds interesting? And I thought I was the only one who cut on X5's

Just for fun :

BUT
This is not compatible with xenon headlight... And those are with angel eyes... What a shame...

OK, now I follow you.

Are the light's made by DEPO? If so, they are well made. I installed front clears on my wife's 528i, good stuff.

No idea ... I don't have bought them, I've xenon and I don't now if it is possible to adapt ?

any update on the mirrors???? Where to order?????

discontinued :(

any news?

what about autodim?

yes
 

Hi

I would be interested, too!

For all 3 and 5 series BMW there has been a pretty big market in Europe before BMW went closing those shops legally. After that you could buy them in the US or Asia (got mine from China but quality, fitting and technique was OK).

As all the "good things" are copied there why shouldn´t they use standard M3/M5 look mirrors and mount them on adapter plates for our Xs????

Is that such a secret to do?

There is no secret aout it. LOL
I will show you how to convert ///m3,///5 mirrors onto X5 next few days.
Stay tune.;)

Please keep me in the loop on this was well. Thanks
