Testing out these cheap e36m3 style mirrors today. Significantly lighter than stock & better aerodynamics, but not sure how I feel about the looks. Will likely paint them dog dick red to match, but need to be sure I like them before putting that kind of effort in.

I'm going to be up front: they're not my cup of tea, although I can appreciate the lighter weight and smaller profile. They look a touch too aftermarket, but that may be because they're black rather than red. But I'm also the odd man out because I actually enjoy the looks of the gargantuan square mirrors of our coupes with the little nubbins on the top.
+1 to the above. I think the narrower profile just makes the proportions look a bit off to me, along with the cutout for the supports (although aero is improved with that)
Personally I've never liked those, even on the E36 M3.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that it looks kinda good? The only thing I don't like is how it angles up so steeply, but I think I would dig it once it was dog dick red.
So guys....I kind of added something to E46 life. I'll leave it like this for now. Took delivery of it yesterday, detailed the interior and today clayed the exterior and sealed it up!

That's some wild body mods on the Kia Rio.
Thanks for the feedback, guys!
Alright I agree 100%. Love our stock mirrors. Don't know why.
Yeah something about them doesn't flow well with the car to me, but e46 M3 mirrors don't either. Something about the facelift coupe makes the square mirrors look better.
The actual e36 m3 mirrors definitely look better than these, but were still too racey for a sports sedan.
Lol I need to repaint the mirror caps on my stockers so I may go ahead and paint these anyway just to see. Was hoping for a lightweight alternative to stock that was somewhat unique.
