Discolored outside mirror

Recently i commuted in an X5, a facelifted E53, 3.0i. The car runs fine but i did notice that the passenger side view mirror was of a reddish/pinkish color. the car definitely has electrochromatic mirrors, and the driver's side is plain white/clear, without bluish tint, so it is as it is supposed to be. the center mirror looks good too... I do not know if the system is working or not, as it is not my car, I was just a passenger but the right mirror got me puzzled...

I wonder if the glass is "burned", or under constant power, or whatever...

Anyone ran into this?
