Where's the oval M mirror? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

For any of you that have owned M cars in the past.. you know what I'm talking about.

I really loved the oval mirrors...

I wonder why they did away with it. It was such a signature M characteristic.

Anyone know of a company doing this in the aftermarket??

Good question!!! When I drive behind M3's on the highway and see the ovals thru their rear window, I think we got jipped.

Perhaps we can get a recall so that the correct mirror can be installed.

Thankfully, my wife's Mini Cooper S has an oval mirror, so I'm not missing out completely.

I agree though, that it is sad the trademark oval mirror is not in the M5.

Am i missing something here??

My M5 has the oval mirrors & all the M5's i see in the UK have oval mirrors.

Another ROW conspiracy ?? Say it isn't so.

????Your rear view mirror (not the side view ones on the doors) is oval?

That must be the confusion !!! I hope.

I thought it was because of the Homelink buttons that the mirrors were not oval.
