E30 and E36 mirrors the same

8) anyone know if the base plates for the E30 and the E36 are exactly the same. i'm wanting to order up some new smaller mirrors and the web site only has a base plate for the E36, but in the magazine article of the same company it has all the E cars listed. are these all the same or do they differ?...

sorry about the ignorance, but what is a 2.5 AFM, also, does the year of the car matter with the ECU. i know there is a 2.5 in a yard near me that is a recent addition, still has the ECU, but it is a good few years earlier than mine. do you think that will make much of a difference?
cheers.
