Preferably still with the blank where the mirror control would be on the drivers side. Also, need two sunvisor holder clips ...

Ach that's nothing, I did Glasgow - Silverstone - Guildford - Scarborough - Glasgow in 19 hours one day in my 325i touring - 956 miles.
Didn't miss a beat, did cost a lot in fuel though.
Did Glasgow - Swansea - Glasgow one Sunday too, in the 325i to buy an e36.
