Yeah, the price is more for a customized color option, but still not bad IMO. The OEM mirrors are still a little more contour, but these look like the best and closest solution for OG M2 owners without replacing the entire assembly. Time will tell how they compare, and I & Aboen will be one of the first guinea pigs to see how it looks LOL.

The current mirrors are too bulky and squarish, which blocks the center divide island/curb when making a left turn. For me, there is no reason to change to this mirror if visibility is not improved. |

You can purchase them and get more info here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1515615 Ind also sells them for the M2C/M3/M4 but they're a little more expensive ($450)

I've looked at the M mirrors on the M3/4 and always thought this would be possible. I even toyed with the idea of trying to design it myself, but I'm glad AutoID did. I knew/hoped if I was thinking about it, some company who does this type of stuff had to be also. I like the original mirror caps, but always that they could be done a little better.

The entire housing and glass of the M2C/M3/M4 mirrors have a different shape and design. It's a completely different part from the standard M2 mirror. It isn't just a different outer back shell like the knock off replacement caps that people are selling. Not sure why so many people are having a difficult time grasping that. Maybe it's hard to tell from photos but I assure you in person there's no mistaking the two for one another. The standard mirrors are short and square shaped and the REAL m mirrors are much longer and more rectangular looking. |

If they were to have those triangular glass piece similar to the prius... then visibility will be better, but would make the car ugly. It's a trivial thing, but it really annoys me that everytime I make a left turn, I have to either sit up, or lean forward just to make sure I don't hit the center divide/island; and some islands are really squarish without a good radius... That's why when I first saw the M2C mirror, i thought the curvy cut out at the back of the housing is for better visibility of the road. EDIT: after looking at the photos on the first page, I really think these mirrors would give better view of the road when you turn left, can anyone comment on this? How did you guys source these out right now? through your local dealership? |

I see what you're saying now. Can't say I have that problem. Maybe you need to adjust your seating height/position.

Also - as an aside - does the shape help keep the side window clear at speed on wet days? |
