I bought small round one for each mirror from walmart for $2.
it works wonder. It doesn't even have blind spots

That looks like the EU spec mirrors. The outer edge has a wider field of view.

Here is a German spec e82 with them...

Here is my old VW Bora with them too...

Btw... they cost about 65 euros each for the cheap versions. I think IF your car has auto diming they are like 300 euros per mirror! That is just for the glass.

I know the ones you are talking about, but I don't like them very much lol

Estimating $100 from the 65 euro sounds about right for authentic parts. Just wondering how much of a difference it makes.

I'd be really interested in them at a reasonable price esp if they came with the blue tint... still wish they would let us activate the rear fogs...

The wide angle EU mirrors ARE blue in color/tint.

You CAN buy a EU headlight switch and then your rear brake fogs will work! That is what I did to my car.

Where did you get the EU switch?
