Mirrors ... ACS or M Style?

[Sid]

I am torn between which mirrors I want for my car...

I know from looking here that I don't like the M5 style mirrors, if thats what they are:
http://forum.bmwcarmagazine.com/topic2.asp?TOPIC_ID=42694

Prefer smaller M3...??

What are the measurements of:
1. Real M3 Mirrors?
2. Real M5 Mirrors?
3. Replica M style mirrors ... these should all be the same right, no matter who sells them?

Sometimes the ACS ones seem odd to me, sometimes I really like them, depending on the angle I think...

[hmm


Feel free to spam this thread with ACS and M style mirrors for the E46!!!
... to help me make up my mind.

(mine is a saloon .. in silver!)


Cheers,
Sid

go for the ACS as if you get M3 ones it will look a bit wannabe like . The ACS ones are the mutts nutts too !

[Sid]

How can you tell the difference between real and fake ACS?

I say go ACS deffo, I used to have ACS on my old e46 vert, and loved them, plus there arent as many around on the road...

Also some dick ran into one of mine whilst I was stuck at a light in dense traffic in the UK, and all it did was pop my glass out and put a little scratch (which buffed out) and his mirror on the astra was completely f'd, so definately good quality...

How much are the ACS ones? And are they a dealer only item?

I had OE M3 ones on my coupe and now have ACS ones on the D. The ACS are deffo rarer and do look really good. Bought my ACS ones from Paul at M Style. Speak to him and ask what the best he can do them for you is? He is pretty good and may do you a deal.

Schnitzer ones cost approx 350 - 400 after painting. One problem is though they dont fold up, so if you have fuse 57, you are better going with the M ones.
