Pre-LCI but.......

Weird question.

My e92 is a 2010 and from what I have gathered from researching, its a pre LCI.

EXCEPT.

Mine has LCI mirrors. Do some cars have some but not all of the LCI changes that were produced with in a couple months of when the LCI went in to effect??

Reason I'm asking is because I cant stand the LCI mirrors and cant figure out why my car has them and nothing else LCI on it. I bought my car CPO and it was a 3 year lease turn in. Very little chance the previous owner changed the mirrors IMHO.

Any ideas??

Yeah the 10+ are more round looking. Not nearly as sleek and aero looking as the 09 and before.

Just find a set with the same options as yours (power folding, heated, whatever) and it should be plug and play.
