Question: Have any of you upgraded your standard mirrors to the M-style mirror on your 8s?

> Yes. A simple exchange...so simple that they have been stolen two times now...

I was wondering if the upgrade was done, if the mirror will still look downward for parallel parking and be heated? Basically, are all the functions still intact?

> all functions metioned but not all; the M-style mirrors are not elektrochromatic (auto-dimming). It also possible to order non-electric M-style mirrors. The auto-tilt down feature is also dependant of an extra 'black box'.

Also, how much does this cost?

> about $1.000 (excluding repaint costs (they don't come in the cars color and ecluding installation)
