Split glass side mirrors

Hey all, I did a search and nothing came up, but does anyone know if there are any vendors that sell euro-style split glass mirrors? I've adjusted my mirrors on my V36 G35 to minimize blind-spot, but there's still a gap that I don't like. My previous car had something like this:



It takes about a week or two to get used to, but the coverage is much better.

I've seen a lot of threads about side mirror covers (not interested), but nothing about just a mirror replacement. Any pointers?

There are buys for replacement Euro mirrors and mirror covers, but nothing like you have mentioned. Looks interesting.

Yeah, the split-glass BMW M3 mirrors are noticeably smaller than our G35/G37 mirrors, but I feel that I got much more coverage with the split glass.

That's such a good idea, I don't get why they don't do that in the US. You could try attaching one of those small mirrors from pep boy but it just doesn't look good imo.

According to a member here (Mike), it is possible to adjust the mirrors in some magical way to get zero blind spots.. I still can't do it lol

That mirror is interesting

Yeah, I adjusted my mirrors according to (I think it was Mike's) directions I found on the forum, but wasn't 100% satisfied with it. With the split glass, you can still see the side of your car and a large part of the lane next to you.

I was really considering sticking on those small circular concave mirrors, but decided to keep the car more aesthetically pleasing
