i donno about the 1st one, but the second, at least they look like the real thing... i would go w/ the 2nd IMO

personally, i really dont like turn signal mirrors, I'd go with the first one if any.

I like the shape of the second ones but wouldn't get them since they have turn signals in them. Check out this site http://www.germanstuff4you.com/ They have some nice looking mirrors that are not to high.

I like the 2nd ones better, plus they are being shipped from Boston, not Malaysia.

I've heard there's lots of problems with the turn-signal led in aftermarket mirrors dieing, then you have to replace the unit or something and it's a pain.

I also personally don't like turn signal mirrors. I'm thinking the first ones look VERY similar to mine, only I don't know if I'd trust ebay.

Worth a try and if they work, you just saved a few hundred dollars. If not the hit wasn't that bad and it was worth a try.

only thing is with ZKW's, I don't have that much $$ left to spend on Mirror and Mats...

i dont think you NEED the mirrors.. you know? so i think spend your money on what you actually need or want most

**BaLAnCe17** · 05-02-2005, 09:57 PM

lol we dont need half the stuff we put on our cars but we do it anyways haha. but good point. IMO i wouldnt buy m3 mirrors, but say one broke, i would probably replace it w/ 2 new m3 mirrors. later

Exactly what I did. A mailbox jumped out and attacked one of my mirrors, so I replaced them both with M3 mirrors.

How is the view with them? better worst?

**BaLAnCe17** · 05-03-2005, 01:34 AM

lol i would assume the exact same since they are power adjustable... i wouldnt know for sure i just wanted to say that haha

**B3M2W5i** · 05-03-2005, 01:36 AM

i think they are smaller so less visability
