thanks man.


picked up some early e23 chrome mirrors and I'm painted the tails red. I will get a picture of the two on soon.

I was just thinking to myself if there was an early and late model. What are the differences?

base, slight narrower shape, and chrome. later ones are more bulky like the e30 mirrors

Haha, I think he was asking about the car itself, not just the mirror. But that's some mirror knowledge!

ah, lol. Exterior aesthetics-wise, the early e23s from 78 to 82 had the shark nosepanel like the e24, the chrome mirrors, and if it was a euro, then the front bumper was slightly more pointed, as well as the side rear trim being thin like the rest of the moldings.

[Earl]

Are the rear arch heights the same? I was thinking it would be similar to early versus late e30's

Wow I am just seeing this. Looking forward to updates.

Just a clean great car. I just got a 733i to work on but too bad we will never meet considering I'm on the east coast.

How did you manage to put the chrome mirrors onto the place of the current ones? I am facing this problem, because I had to swap my front doors, and I could only find facelift ones.

Thanks for the answer!

You just need to drill out a third hole in the door to mount the mirror. I havent done it yet but it lines up the same as the facelift ones, just with a third mounting point.

Going backwards and converting to a shark nosepanel as well...
