I can see the whole road even on highways etc. So I think the OEM rearview mirror is sufficient.

Also how did you know it was JDM? Maybe a German company makes it.

i have the jdm mirrors for my current altima. its good cuz i can see the whole highway without having to turn back when lane changing or stuff like that.

but on my soon to be e93, i don't think i will put it on because doesnt the mirror come with the dimming effect.. or something along that line?

depending on how it looks. but i haven't seen any bmw's with jdm rear mirrors in la/oc area .. SO Far.

that's too bad, hopefully you don't run into me in the streets

i love them, they're called broadway mirrors, while some of you may think it's tacky, they're actually quite helpful...they're meant for you to see your blind spots without having to glance over your shoulders every time.

i believe the broadways have anti-glare on them anyways, so you won't get blinded my high beams or other ppl with hids

Increased rearward visibility is rice, huh?

I admit, I had it on my Honda, but it did allow you to see everything behind your car and even beside your car in the blind spots. I ended up using it much more than my side mirrors. I loved it. I don't think I'd put it in my new bimmer though. Is it ricey? I don't think so, because it actually serves a useful function.
