Default Aspheric mirror.....standard on the Euro model Z

BMW E39 Aspheric (Wide-Angle) Mirrors + Heating Info

Im posting this as an example as I cannot find the actual aspheric Z mirrors online. I am ordering 1 for my Z and will post up the results. I can tell you they made a huge difference on my GTI after getting the factory euro aspheric mirror for less than 40euro's! (drivers side)
I can drive/merge etc with ease.
I drove to the dealer I use here in my area in Germany and sure enough there they are on the new Z coupe on the lot. More to follow, and yes I adjust according to the linked article. Im sorry but this car has blind spots no matter and IM RELIGOUS about this.
The GTI was not too bad but the factory aspheric opens up a WHOLE new world across additional lane(s).
Again Im amazed at what is on the euro models and what crap is on a US model. SAD!

I will and when I order I will give you the data and price. If it can be ordered from Nissan then any dealer should be able to access it.
The German model has 1 aspheric on the drivers side. Was the same for my GTI>
