never make bids while talking on the phone

Platanos · 12-01-2005, 12:31 AM

there's 2 minutes left on a bid. my wife calls. the current bid is at $35. i told myself i won't go over $45. so i bid 36, then 37, 38, 39, i say screw it i put in $46 as my max bid. at least i thought i did. i ended up putting $4,655 as my max bid with seconds left to spare

. i cuss out my wife cause i'm a dummy. needless to say i won the item at $62.00

looking at the prices, you don't want to do it from the dealer: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...68&hg=51&fg=10

You can resuse the motor in your current mirror as far as I know. I have seen only the glass for sale.....somewhere online, i'll see if I can find a link. As far as the base......I have no idea. Wish I could help you more.

this really sucks. i didn't want to pay that much for these. i would have done $46 but i didn't want to win at this price. i could've bought reps for $120. oh well, hopefully i can find a mirror and the bases for under 100 bucks or so. if i can use my exsisting motor that that will help my cause. a link would be cool. thanks fellas

worse comes to worse, put 'em back on ebay and get the $45 or so dollars and then buy what you want.

hey man, good luck finding plates and everything for super cheap. they'll look hot once you get them all fixed up

One thing that might be cool is if a euro (wideangle) mirror is available for the driver's side. I know they're available for the standard mirrors, but it would be extra points on the M3 type.

Just pretend you "dropped" a $20 out of your wallet when you were paying for something else. I had to do that once when I "accidently" stopped by a strip club with friends.

EDIT: I'm not married, but I got grilled by the girl.

i like this description on that diagram: "MIRROR GLAS HEATED (CO-DRIVERS SIDE)" ... when the hell did it become the co-driver's side? pretty soon they'll be calling the back seat the "rear driver's seat." sheesh ...

Maybe he did SCCA Rally?

A lot of CCA driving schools also have instructors that will sit-in with you.
