    Cleaned up the silver cube trim with a toothbrush, soap and water. You don't realize how dirty it is until you brush it, rinse it, and dry it. They really pop once cleaned. Not great pics sorry

    Yeah, I mean looking at it, they seem so fragile and not a great long-term material for something that gets weathered, moved, and used fairly regularly. I mean if you fold the mirrors in manually...

    Lol. Same lights that came on the car. No retrofit. I only replaced the burned bowls. I'll have to hook up INPA and look up codes.

    I guess it doesn't? Did BMW make cars without alarms? It has "S876A Radio frequency 315 MHz". What's the option code for alarm? Why would BMW not put an alarm in a 40k+ car?
