Side mirrors on 135i

Noticed something interesting today...

The passengers side mirror on my 2010 135i has flat glass, whereas I checked out an older (2008) 135i and the glass has the curved face to it with the vertical line. My old 120 and friend's 130 both had curved mirror faces too... got me wondering if flat glass was the normal or not?

I have a 2010 spec 125i which is an April build and it has the Convex mirrors with the black vertical lines on both driver and passenger sides.

I am pretty sure all BMWs (in oz at least) have convex on both side mirrors.

It's kind of one of their safety features.
