what about the right hand mirror,
1. Did you replace the Convex "objects in mirror are closer..." with the wide angle also?
2. are you happier with the wide angle on the pass side than the original convex?
thanks

Q1 & Q2...if you're asking me, the answer is yes & yes.
Since I had aspherical wide angle mirrors on my e38 & e39...even the convex passenger side mirror on the e53 made me feel uneasy when changing lanes. When I got the aspherical wide angle mirrors for the e53...that all went away.
But I do warn that if you have the auto dimming (EC) side view mirrors...they are more expensive to replace if you want to keep the heating & auto dimming features. But if you only have the heated side mirrors...then the wide angle heated mirrors are way less expensive than the
heated & auto dimming wide angle mirrors.
Not sure if you can tell the difference in the pics below...but 1st pic is the original convex passenger side mirror...and the 2nd pic is the aspherical wide angle passenger side mirror:
