Where to get Aspherical Blind Spot Mirrors for MY 08-09

Just picked up my C63 and debated long and hard between it and M3! LOVE LOVE LOVE the car, and I have a big sh*t eating grin everytime I look in the garage!

I was wondering though, about how to get the Aspherical (Blind Spot) European rear view mirror glass here in the states.

I would LOVE a set of these as I source them for every german car I've purchased.

Thanks!

Chris

Thanks, I'll have to get a hold of him.

They look like this ebay.de ad for the driver's side. The outer 1/5 is a wide angle piece, left of the vertical line aiding visibility. This one is heated and auto dimming, but the passengers wont be decreasing the cost.

Edit, I believe that's for the facelifted mirrors, but they make them for all model years.

10 Steel Grey C63

I've adjusted my mirrors like in this video for years, completely eliminates blind spots. It can be a bit disconcerting until you get used to it since almost everyone is accustomed to using their side view mirrors as additional 'rear view' mirrors instead of truly using them to view to the side.

I will say the C63 driver's side mirror does not adjust as wide as other cars I've owned, but it still goes far enough to eliminate blind spots.

Any reasons why MB won't allow the driver side mirror to adjust freely as the passenger side mirror?

I too adjust for blind spot coverage in all my cars but C-class driver mirror doesn't allow for this.
