Bumping my above post for the midweek people. I'm pretty sure the answer is no...
Also, one thing that bugged me with my pre-LCI is the M wing mirrors. I assume that the upper housing is replacable with standard g30 covers? Or is the whole assembly different from g30?
I had a pre-LCI F90 M5 and pre-heating was not an option.Also, one thing that bugged me with my pre-LCI is the M wing mirrors. I assume that the upper housing is replacable with standard g30 covers? Or is the whole assembly different from g30?
As to the mirrors, not sure what you want to achieve? The pre-LCI and LCI mirrors are the same (the second upper stem differentiating it as per established M "tradition"), do you want to fit non M/standard mirrors?

Yep. Standard Mirrors. I'm assuming they are plug and play given the amount of non-Ms I see with them fitted.

I suspect the non-Ms you see have cheap aftermarket mirrors which are supposed to look like the M ones. If you check realOEM you should be able to compare part numbers of the housing between M and non-M to see if it's the same. The case will be different but unsure about the housing it attaches to.
Well, the bootlid spoiler will be coming off too, and the badges; and I'll be seeking out an LCI non-competition grille and gills from the EU, assuming they fit and aren't too expensive.
I think the F90 M wing mirrors are too big and too plastic-y. And I dislike all the Shadowline that comes with the Competiton package. But we are restricted in the UK.
If I could, I would indeed opt for a less visually prominent exhaust - but that's far too much work.
And no, the answer isn't a B5 or 550i because this car isn't for me, but my better half, and she wants an M5C again, with some of the tat removed.

My car is due a service in May - plugs, oil, micro filters, inspection etc. Local Sytner dealers want £1100 ish to do the job, is this about the going rate these days or worth shopping around? I have extended warranty so I’ll have to use a main dealer really.
I thought £800 was the going rate for the big service going by what I've seen on cutters.I'd ring about and see what is quoted elsewhere.
I had the 'Minor' along with front and rear diffs, transfer box and MOT done for £880 last year at the main dealers. I have the major due this year and I'm going indie from here on, been quoted £450 for that.

Thanks I did call 3 local ish dealers today and £1100 seems to be the average price, £800 seems about right but given I’m in Herts I’m guessing prices locally might be higher.I'd ring about and see what is quoted elsewhere.
