in the end I see no evidence that mirrors would materially make a performance difference either way. it's the aero of the car as a whole.

The 228, m235 and M2 are all " dimensionally completely different in every aspect... " ... ? ummm.. ok.. ? they DO all have the same mirrors.... and one can see that as BMW adds more " M styling " the car actually gets LESS aerodynamic... BMW of course usually attempts to add more power to the higher line vehicles to help them attempt to overcome the aero disadvantages, something which they were easily able to do for decades with a bespoke Motor for the M car.
Now that the differences in trim level is almost down to simply just a tune .. the M235 actually accelerates better than the M2 in certain gears.
