mirror swap

hey guys
i've ordered the e92 lci with the m-package in mineral white
as i will be waiting for 2 months till delivery i keep my self busy planning and buying things for mods.
so i really dont like the lci side mirrors. they just seem too big, they probably are..
so i'm planning on changing them, the question is with what..
options are: the old e92 mirrors, the m3 mirrors (found some replicas in ebay, OEM are way too expensive for me), e46 m3 mirrors, e36 m3 mirrors! or maybe just paint them black and hope they look smaller..

i would appreciate your opinion.. if someone is kind enough to photoshop any of the above that would be great.
thanks in advance

my advice is live with them first to see if you really don't like them. they are big yes, but they are more functional than the other ones i've found

Really? I have no issues with mine at all, I can see everything around me.

I don't have a problem with the pre-lci ones either, but I can see a little bit more around me with the dumbo ones.
