Simons really is in first class condition, the interior is mint as well.

pft, but then you drive a purple car!!!

seriously, any mirror is better than the standard ones, i loathe them sooo much and always have, they look crap on the e36, and on the e34 - whats with the black plastic and the dots on the inside edge??? I'm sure they must have been an aerodynamic improvement over the old skool elephant ears but aestheticaly the suck large man-sausage. They never seem to look straight from the drivers seat either, and to me make the car look like a 518 or something, since the e36 (mostly 318's etc) is all over the place sporting these crap mirrors!

And now I've got a set on the LE I hate them even more!!!

I started off hating them. To be honest I have grown to like them - they do what they are supposed to and IMO don't look hideous.

I think they are more in keeping with the car, certainly more than the Evo mirrors (although a number of board memebers will not agree with me).
