 European side mirrors



Has anyone had luck obtaining European-style convex side mirrors when picking up a car in Munich? I am taking delivery of a 5-series next month. For the 3-series that I am now reluctantly selling (she's been a great car), I purchased replacement side mirrors from a dealer here in the States for about $90 each. I suppose I could do the same again, but I would prefer to receive them as original equipment and save the $180. I've posed the question to my dealer, and I'm waiting for an answer. Any suggestions or experience would be appreciated.

I suspect the answer is no, for two reasons. 1) Custom (i.e., non-standard options) orders are difficult enough, and pretty much impossible with ED. 2) The convex mirrors are not DOT compliant (right?), so BMW would not install them on a US car for initial sale.
