My LHS wing mirror glass decided to fall out and developed a crack.
I have the flat mirror with a grenish/blue tint to it.
Would prefer a wide angle wingmirror with a similar tint.
I have a wide angle mirror on the RHS (drivers side) and it's much better.
Real OEM is selling me 51161901172 - but can't tell if tint or flat/convex
- any tips for a source of LHS E30 wide angle mirrors?

Solved.
Ended-up buying from eBay seller in Lithuania.
Good quality - OE like - with the white plastic retaining ring (rather than the ones that clip-in or just stick on).

Can you let me know if these are for a right hand drive car as I think there are angle issues with fitting mirrors designed for a left hand drive on a right hand drive car.

I’d say these are for a LHD car, but I have a convex mirror in both left and right wing mirrors. Works fine for me & increases the viewing angle - especially with the cabby roof up.
The whole mirror is convex.
Real OEM shows a P/N where the outer edge convex - that would have problems if you put that on the opposite side.
