Your opinions please.

dtm look the best in my opinion, Apparently they are a rubbish fit though.
Failing that you could spend £400 on a set of a/c schnitzer's 8O

M3 style have been done to death now, M5 ones may work but a bit too rounded, out of the 3 I'd go for the DTM's.

m3 mirrors are gay, m5 mirrors are gay, dtm mirrors are gay.

The standard mirrors were designed to compliment the e30's styling. Use them.

think you'll find compared to the others they are the best ones for good perspective! I had M3 ones on mine when i first bought my E30 and ditched them after a month.

only proper dtm copy mirrors, and then only on an m3.

none of those cheap shite 'dtm' ones you see bunged on corsas etc. the others are so lame they don't deserve a mention.
cheers,

DTM's are cool but are supposed to be crap visability.
M3 style are up there with lexus lights for pikeyness.
Dont think M5 style would look that good.

I'd stick to the standard mirrors, Or go for some AC Schnitzer's 8)
