Chrome Mirrors

I just wanted to showcase a little upgrade I added to my 7. Keep in mind these are BMW OEM parts and not after market. They fit perfectly and really make your 7 different from the rest. You can easily install them yourselves and they are reasonably priced.

It's just a matter of taste and preference. Enjoy

Do your car a favor and throw those out. You make the car look gaudy, cheap, and tasteless.

The chrome caps don't flow with the rest of the car imo and I think BMW also sells OEM carbon fibre covers, I wonder how they would look.

I've always admired the way these mirrors looked on the Audi S series vehicles. S4, S6 and S8.

Despite all your negative comments, I couldn't care less what you think. These mirrors are outstanding and I get nothing but compliments on them.

I've seen the carbon fiber mirrors and I just don't think they work on a 7 series. Maybe on a 3 series or 1 series which are more sporty models.

Have a nice day.

I believe Audi mirror covers are aluminum, not chrome. But hey, it's your car, do what you please. Don't let others tell you what is right, as there is no wrong way to being original.

I kinda like your chrome mirrors. But wow! You sure did get a negative reaction from the board here..lol! Oddly enough Im not a "chrome" guy. I dont like chrome rims or trimmings but I dont think your mirrors are all that bad. On that note I am awaiting on a 2013 740Li. Only thing I will probaly do to it is 30% tint with a Alpina rear spoiler. Its glacial silver with M package..cant wait. I find that with the higher end luxury cars, the simple look is better.

These are BMW OEM parts, not even after market. They are very well made and they fit perfectly. BMW also makes a version with carbon fiber which clearly don't understand. Why would any one put carbon fiber mirrors on a 7?

Maybe on a 1 series or 3 series but a 7???

Like I said, everyone on here has an opinion or preference and it's their God given right voice it. I really couldn't care less what people say as long as their comments are not rude or offensive.
