All chrome side mirrors

Post by PV-ALPINA »

Hi,
I wonder if the all chrome version side mirror, i.e., cromed base/support as well as crome mirror housing is present on all series 1 E24 1976-1982 or are the newer version with a black support/base introduced during series 1 or when series II arrived?

I believe that transition occurred sometime between 1979 and 1980. Most of our series one cars have mirrors with black bases. This is a 12/1981 build date parked next to a sister series one.

Ok, I have a 1980 with black base which seems to be correct then. My 77 has all chrome version. Thanks for info!
