All torn apart with the covers repainted to white and all the black parts sprayed with SEM Trim Black.

The passenger side had been messed with before and the allen bolt was WAY too tight which caused it to quickly strip. 20 minutes later and a chisel and it finally came loose.

540i brake ducts are later this week

Any other color and I would have left the dog ears on, but white with the tinted windows they just stand out too much to me.

The old ones are for sale if you really miss them, you could give them a home :D

Nice pic , Brod.

Hehe , those Euro mirrors looks sleaker. My Euro Touring had them. I guess better aerodynamics, good for 2 mph more top speed!.

Not euro, just the '93 -'95 style.

I got them from one of the guys on the board. IIRC they were $140. You can get them on ebay sometimes cheaper, but this was a nice set.
