Question E90 M3 Mirrors retrofit on E90s?

Sorry if this has been previously asked but trouble finding it. Does anybody have any links, pics, websites etc of E90 M3 mirrors retrofitted to standard E90s ?

If so, pls share - just considering this in my future 'Mod' list along with a few other bits n bobs.. I swear had I not joined this forum, I'd be so much better off wallet wise: but can't blame 'in pursuit of perfection'..

Ain't it gonna look a bit odd with 335d exhaust pipes and M3 mirrors?!

I'm sure it can be done though.

In some ways I wish the guy I bought the car off had never had 335d exhaust pipes fitted - @$$h0!e lol, but he did a great job maintaining the car :-)

I'm not exactly set on doing this, just curious to see how it could look.. + if not too expensive, who knows... but If I'm to keep this nice and classy, not sure how this particular mod would go down lol.

No difference, but given I have a 320D, I thought to keep things uniform and stick to the D in my sig.

Isn't it the same difference as the 330/330d? The petrol's pipes look thinner, as the diesels have a rolled lip.

You could very well be right here..
Is it best to just go to the scrappers and see what they might have or do this the internet way, lol?

Not sure on other models but 335i & 335d exhausts are identical in size!
