As per the 2007 BMW brochure, it states " Power-adjustable heated side-view mirrors are blue tinted; the back side matches the body color."

However, when i actually see the outside or side rearview mirrors the mirrors seem to be regular colored instead of blue tinted. Anyone else notice this? Or is it only blue tinted for non *premium pkg* which doesn't have the auto dimmed mirrors?

Thats prob true... if you have auto dimming mirrors it'll "tint" automatically when the rear is brighter than what youre looking at in the front.

Well thats weird, in the USA or at least on mine, it is clear.

Can anyone else check their cars and see if it is blue tinted or clear on their 2006+ models?

In the UK, standard mirrors are blue tinted. If option of auto-dimming mirrors is chosen with the folding mirrors, the mirrors will be clear.
