Hot in the face .

///M Power: I have the single tip in the bumper right now. The bumper is from a 2003 540i M-Package... putting on the duals is going to be my summer project along with getting the seats re-dyed and new carpet.

Your car looks awesome. Major props on the updates. One question though....where did you get those M5 mirrors from for $550 (if you don't mind me asking)?

The mirrors were from the dealership... they ran about $550 each after tax, but that includes the entire housing, motor, glass etc.
