IMO, there's no point in either of those mirrors, because they are still too large for the Z3.

What we need is a smaller oval mirror which will fit easily. There used to be a guy in the US at http://www.z3mirrors.com/ who did this, but he seems to have gone away now.

Re: Wanted - 6 cylinder Front Brace Strut

Definitely worth it. Makes the front much more consistent, and less pointy in bumpy corners.

I have a cheap one, and it's fine. You don't need a massive slab of ally. The forces are all tension and compression, and don't apply any bending moment to the brace.
