1M Mirror Glass Size

Are the 1M side mirrors the same size as 2011+ dumbo style or are they smaller like pre-LCI (08-10 e82/88)?

They are completely different to other 1 series. They're the same as the e90 M3...

Thanks, I’m just a little confused about the different mirror glass sizes. I have a 2013 135i with LCI “dumbo” stye mirrors. Recently someone side swiped my car so I was going to use this as opportunity to upgrade to 1M mirrors. I know the 1M mirror hardware I need is:

51168043225 – mirror cap left
51168043226 – mirror cap right

51168051923 – M mirror assembly left
51168051924 – M mirror assembly right

However I was told mirror glass 51167158309 (left) and 51167158309 (right) would fit 1M mirrors. These are the European version with aspherical, wide angle, heated with auto-dim (4 plug). But upon receiving these mirrors they look to be same size and shape as my current dumbo mirrors on my car now.

Unless you're considering reshaping them, I don't see how they are compatible...
You probably got the wrong glass bits...

No that was not my intention. The seller just mis-stated the description, saying it would fit 1M. I'll cancel my order, thank you.
