What does everyone think of the M3 mirrors available through Umnitza? They say OEM style, but are they very close to accurately replicating the OEM mirrors, or are these poor versions? It's hard to tell in the pictures on their site.

I have seen a lot of different ones at various sites, and some are good, most are kind of poor quality, and I'm tired of seeing all the LED versions.

I am just trying to find a decent set of aftermarket M3 mirrors for an E36 Sedan, so I can get the car ready for paint. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on OEM or I'd get some in the FS section for $260.

Any thoughts, sources, suggestions, etc.?

Thanks.

i actually just returned mine from them. they say OEM but a true enthusiast would be able to tell the difference. i didnt like the base plates they had for the mirrors

Thanks for the info. I didn't think they looked quite right even in the pictures. They seem slightly different shape than the OEM pieces, but I wasn't sure if I was just mistaken. It looks like I found a set of OEM mirrors for only a little more than the aftermarket parts, so I'll likely go with those instead.

I am definitely new to the world of Umnitza. I thought they were a semi respected company with decent products, but I'm starting to wonder. :)

We shipped over 30 of these mirrors last month. Not everyone loves them, but most people appreciate the costs.

Definitely. The price seemed pretty good, and that is why I was considering jumping, but they looked like they were a little different shape than the OEM pieces, so that is the reason for my post. I had to check with others to get some opinions on quality. I haven't heard anything bad about your company as a whole, so I was ready to go, but I just wasn't sure about the product.

Fortunately I found a set of mint OEM M3 Sedan mirrors for $150 shipped, so needless to say I'm quite happy.

Thank You to everyone who replied. I appreciate the input!
