6 Series Wing Mirrors??
Palmnuts has got me thinking (not the same league) but I'm looking at getting a 630i but hate the wing mirrors. Does anyone know if a E92 or other BMW model apart from the M6 mirrors would replace the elephant ear ones that come standard??

This is what i'm looking at as well as a Z4 Coupe and Audi A5

I'm guessing you have a pre LCI e90. The LCI ones had big dumbo mirrors and indeed every car built since 2008 has huge mirrors due to some stupid rule/requirement. I don't think you will find anything that fits that is smaller/a better shape.
Regarding the Z4 coupe. Quite a bit different from the other 2 cars on your list. i had the roadster and thoroughly enjoyed it. I nearly bought a coupe but on test driving i found it hideously stiff. It really did crash and bang about to the point of being extremely tiresome.

I own a pre LCI E92 which has similar wing mirrors to the new M6 (sideway tear drop)
This is my last chance to get a "toy" before I need to buy a family car and have always loved the Z4 coupe. The other 2 are slightly more practical with 4 seats. I would get another E92 M sport (Le Man blue with 19" wheels but OH hates them) |

I think the wing mirrors aren't that detracting aesthetically tbh. Just look at the boot! . They aren't big like newer cars either.

I may have told her to say that.
my choice would be :- 1, Le Man Blue 2, Imola Red (may be called something else now) 3, Space Grey She thinks the E92 is too big to drive but would be happy to drive a 630i or Audi A5 : Thats woman for you......... |
