New Trapezoid Mirrors

[HBChris]

Thought I would pass along to the group that Coupeking has new reproduction Trapezoid mirrors available on his website.

I saw these last weekend and they look terrific, are made in Germany and even have the original blue tinted glass. At $200 shipped they are cheaper than BMW charges and it includes the mounting base and gasket.

Always good to see alternatives on the market. As of last summer, I got a new trap from the dealer parts counter for about $185 w/ no shipping, etc.

Who knows how many are left. Knowing the price is equal to BMW's item, maybe the king could take a little less for the rep?

not really sure, but I always use them to gauge prices.

Don't have a new trap mirror, but several old, and that gasket that BMW sells does not match the base of the orig trap mirror.

Yes, Bell BMW the best kept secret for low prices.

The look like they may be the wrong color....or is it just me?

The question is, where is king getting these mirrors? He sure didn't spent 1000K on a re-manufacturing process, he is buying from somebody else, like the seat belts he sells, from Beam's in Oklahoma which you can get from me at lower prices. Let's find the real source of the mirrors, I bet it is in far east! They cost probably around $60-$70 each. Good profit margin.

I have two orig Trap mirrors on my '74 Touring. They are not blue tinted glass. I think the blue ones became available later, but I could very easily be wrong.

the glass has a noticeable light blue tint. So does the recent MT repro pax side mirror I got from Max a year or so ago.

The very early style (67-70) mirrors came both with blue tints and clear glass--there were at least three different manufacturers.
