As mentioned above...look for an M6 GC that has the surround view cameras...they will definitely help when parking...and also the front side view cameras help with the long hood when needing to peer out/look for traffic when you're blinded by large vehicles on your left/right that block oncoming traffic from view.

I also highly recommend plucking down the cash for the Euro wide angled mirrors. Even when your side mirrors are adjusted properly...the wide angle mirrors provide a view of 45° vs the plain glass mirror's 17° view.

You can see in the pics below that you can see more parking space lines and things in the back ground with the wide angle mirrors vs the oe driver's side plain mirror and oe passenger side convex mirror:

That's crazy QSilver. Will definitely keep the mirror issue in mind. How much are we talking for two mirrors?
