M5 side mirrors retrofit

Has anyone fitted M5 mirrors on a pre-lci F10? Is it plug and play?
My car is 2010 BMW 535i

Many Thanks

It's plug and play for pre-lci. LCI would have to re-rout their turn signal from the mirror to the fender. Just make sure the mirror have same options as your vehicle currently have like blind spot, camera, heat, auto dim

Then it should be plug and play unless your connector is different

I just bought the M5 carbon covers for mine. Genuine OEM, not knock offs. They look really good.

Your vehicle is pre-LCI. Connector is different but you can still swap it over to the M5 mirror. Looks like your vehicle doesn’t have a lot of options for the mirror so it’s easier to swap. No camera, blind spot, heat or auto dimming

I swapped the M5 mirrors on my 2016, it’s plug and play there is no issues except you lose turn signals in the mirror.

If you have an all around vision camera it will not work with new mirrors, you will have to code them first as replacement units.

Nice looking fenders!
