The new mirrors are another case in point. I *love* the visibility on my E71 X6, but if we're attaching mirrors to something with the aerodynamic characteristics of a small building (F15/F16/F85/F86), they may as well increase visibility.... ;p
Agreed. The new mirrors on the M models are quite ugly (no offense). Even if they serve some "aerodynamic purpose," they don't seem worth it.
