[Group Buy Feeler] E82 1M Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers

Massdrop · 09-02-2012, 02:19 AM

Hey guys. Through a couple group buys that we did for Audi forums we have established a pretty good working relationship with a several factories overseas that specialize in making aftermarket exterior parts for Euro cars (including BMW). Since we place our orders right from the factory, we usually get a pretty awesome price as long as we meet the minimum order quantity.

Looking at the 1M specific products that are available to us, we think the carbon fiber mirror cover can potentially be a pretty good group buy product.

We are trying to negotiate for a price below $150 for the pair. Any interest?

Also, let me know if you've got any questions or other suggestions.

DO IT!

Would these be the ones where you put on top of your existing covers or the ones where you completely replace the cap?

It's the one that goes on top of the existing mirrors.

International shipping should be no problem at all.

Looks like there are 5 people interested so far. If we can get it up to 15-20, then we can make this happen

Not in a million years... Isn't there a vendor section for this stuff?

ChrisBuer · 09-05-2012, 02:13 AM

I'm interested but can anyone tell me how these differ from the official BMW Performance ones?

135IS · 09-05-2012, 02:16 AM

pretty sure the Perf ones replace your existing mirror caps where these ones go on top of your existing mirror cap

Correct! The performance ones replace the colored cap.

Picture with it on a car? Thanks!

After having the bimmian ones on for several months I just found I couldn't stand the massive gap anymore. Ripped em off and am so much happier with the regular white caps.
