06E90Rostik · 03-16-2006, 11:13 PM

Anybody knows the part number? THOSE THINGS LOOK SUPER HOT

sonny · 03-16-2006, 11:17 PM

no but iwould like to see it in photo

That's retarded. It completely negates the purpose of CF-to reduce weight. If you want CF mirrors then don't get covers, get CF mirrors. Even so, cf mirrors wouldn't really save you much weight, so there really is no purpose.

06E90Rostik · 03-16-2006, 11:39 PM

Oh come on now! How much CF actually weight? 3-5 oz. or so. You get looks first, then you worry about performance.

I think you have that backwards

i took pictures of the rear diffuser before, bmw said it will fit the oem bumper but it did not.

You mean you tried to put Carbon difuser cover on non M-Sport bumper? The Carbon is only for M sport.

Nikki rocks!

I know this is not the purpose of your post, but IMHO, CF on SG looks particularly nasty...

E90Fleet · 03-17-2006, 02:54 AM

CF Mirror part numbers not released yet

Ill check again in the April update

Im not shure if they are stick on covers, or replacement parts, like the rear CF diffuser fro M Sports Pack ( Diffuser replaces old one )

Are you nut? Those are lighter than your dinner meal. Please give him a break and be realistic.

RAYMONMAN · 03-20-2006, 03:09 PM

photos please

06E90Rostik · 03-20-2006, 04:14 PM

I have not seen a real photo yet. I have seen Photoshoped CF mirrors, they look fine, that is why I wanted to get those CF covers, since there is no OEM CF mirors.

Yeah even if it did replace the stock mirrors, you may lose a total of 5 lbs.

How about go on a diet instead. It will probably save you about $800.

ward · 03-20-2006, 06:14 PM

I saw an M5 this weekend, that little black thing on the bottom of the mirrors doesn't show carbon weave, it's just black plastic looking.......

cutting out the regular soda in your diet will have a bigger effect on the cars performance (unless you don't drink soda, or you live somewhere where it's called pop)

06E90Rostik · 03-20-2006, 06:40 PM

Really? Same thing in M6. I hope that for e90 they will have that "weaving" othrwise I am not getting those.

ward · 03-20-2006, 06:46 PM

The M6 may be different, but the M5 just had a solid black look to it

or maybe we just saved you some $$$$$

:rocks:

06E90Rostik · 03-20-2006, 06:49 PM

Probably

Sometimes, epecially after paydays I blew money on BS that I don't need. Thanks for heads up!
