Smile ASPHERICAL MIRROR (Euro)
Pretty excited, I purchased a pair of Aspherical Mirrors for my X5. I will post pics and such once they arrive and are installed!

Where did you get the aspherical mirrors and are they OEM?

Nah, not sure if you have the OEM one as it has a line cutoff that's visible...

Pic is of BMW Heated & dimming aspherical mirror for the E39 M5...

I got a pair of the aspherical mirrors for mine too. It did take a while to get used to the driver's side mirror, but the convex-ness of the drivers side is convenient. As for the blind spot portion, I don't use it much, as I rather just look over my shoulder. I purchased them on eBay as well since I couldn't find any other replacement glass. No regrets
