Contacted the seller (dubstopimports) who responded quick and bought them right away. Great price. It took 3 days for me to receive them. They are very nice quality and the slight blue no-glare tint looks really nice and sleek. The install was very straightforward. $104.90 shipped.

I bought a set of these mirrors for my X5, but unfortunately the connector is different on my car because I have auto-dimming. If your X5 doesn't have auto-dimming, they will fit. I'll sell them at a loss for $80 shipped in the continental US. They are brand new, never mounted, and in their original packaging. PM me if interested.

I'm ordering a set of these as we speak and just wanted to post that I'm glad that I read the post above me - I would have just bought the blue tinted heated ones for $100 from the seller on Ebay but my wifes has auto dim and yes now that I look at the glass the connector is different -

Unfortunately I don't think you are able to "downgrade" to just get the regular blue heated mirrors if you come equipped with the auto-dim function, unless someone can tell me I'm wrong -

I don't care much for the auto-dim function (will probably code it off) but I do appreciate the heating function -

Can't answer your question, but I just purchased and installed a set of auto-dim from a seller out of Latvia on eBay and they're perfect. Would know they were ever used and the visibility when driving is beyond good!

I initially did the replacement because the original drivers mirror was starting to stay darkened all the time. So this set was needed to begin with. Had to wait a little longer but a lot better price than most on the bay.

I imagine that, armed with a wiring diagram/pinout, and some connectors, you could make a small adapter harness to connect the heat wires to the new glass without the dimming hooked up at all. Not sure what sort of module errors that might cause.

Good idea but too much time and not enough cost/benefit ratio - the auto dim aspherical set sells for $100 additional, so I'll just pay the extra - However, if it was a $300+ price difference we absolutely would be having that discussion - auto dim feature can be coded off as well which is nice either way
