What sort of price are you paying in Germany? Or is this the price converted to sterling ?This is the part number for RHD drivers side mirror:
51168397878
£65...
Cheers, I have ordered a non Oem mirror glass while I wait for the original Oem to come back into stock, if the quality is good I can always cancel the one on back order.Yes, it's converted from the € price.
A typical BMW price but it's still a lot of money for a simple mirror glass
I wouldn't be so sure that it is a simple mirror glass, are they not a little convex for a wider view.. ?. even so its a bit over the top..Yes, it's converted from the € price.

. However both seem to be polarised and or tinted, presumably to prevent being blinded by following traffic at night.. A bit of useless info really, but there you go I shared it..and learnt something myself..
I can tell you from bitter personal experience that the mirrors coating does absolutely nothing to prevent being blinded by following traffic. Particularly bu modern Xenon or LED headlights.
Agreed, It,s very noticable when the mirrors are so close to the ground and directly in the firing line. but at least they tried to address the problem. I rarely drive the Z at night for that reason, the rear vision is the same despite is fancy autotint thingy..I can tell you from bitter personal experience that the mirrors coating does absolutely nothing to prevent being blinded by following traffic.

Ordered one of these, let you know how it pans out
Heated, although the car this mirror is for doesn’t have heated mirrors!
Does the car its going on have heated seats ??
No heated seats, grey cloth interior and manual roof, original owner didn’t tick many extra boxes that’s for sure.
Definitely wouldn't have had original heated mirrors then.
