I have not seen another X3 (they are kind of sparse) to validate if mine is "special". I cannot imagine it is, based on the way the parts are structured. But then again, they would have to reverse this for Right-hand drive cars.

Would someone be kind enough to look at their X3 in the daylight and tell me if the side view mirrors are "symmetrical" (I think thats the correct word)?

THANKS!
They are not symmetrical. The passenger side is angled in more so as to be seen from the drivers seat. It's totally normal.
