Lightbulb M3 style mirrors for F30

Hi Guys, I saw a post a few months talking about the new M series side mirrors and if there was anything on the market for F30's .

A couple people mentioned that perhaps the genuine M series mirror caps might fit, however aside from the fact that they are really expensive, I am not sure they would work with folding mirrors.

I came across this on ebay. Before I part with some coin , I was after thoughts and opinions???

Eh. IMHO, they don't look good in person.

The m3 mirrors bolt right up, just get them off a wrecked car. (I have m4 mirrors on my 435.)

The only consideration is that the mirrors use 2 different bus systems. If your car has auto dimming side mirrors, ONLY auto dimming mirrors will work.

Does this make more noise or reduce the wind noise?
