How long before we can expect 1M mirror retrofits?

Love the look of these mirrors. Assume it would be pricey.

I like my 2009 mirrors better than the 1M, but the 1M mirrors better than the 2010 and newer 1er's. The pre-2010 mirrors own all imo.

I honestly think the 1M mirrors are the single worst part of the car. That design works on the M3, it doesn't work here. Awful.

I'm okay with the 2010+ mirrors. They're a bit more functional than the previous ones, even if the older ones were a bit nicer looking.

I disagree. Having seen the car in the metal, I thought the mirrors looked spot-on. Nicer than the original mirrors and certainly nicer than the huge truck mirrors that afflict all recent 1 series.

LOL don't like them either...

Yes, they are practical and provide large rear viewing area but they look like dumbos ears, don't see how aesthetically not functionally speaking, anyone would prefer the current 1 series rear view mirrors.

I'd swap out the currents to earlier 1 series units or go for the 1M's if it were easy enough to swap them over...
