There's not much about the E60 that I don't like and this is me being really really picky but the things I don't like are:
1. The very square-ish wing mirrors - This is a bit subjective but I'm not keen on it.
2. There is no rear wiper - A lot of saloons don't have this and I have no idea why. Really makes looking through the rear window difficult when it has been raining.
What are your opinions on these two issues?

I prefer the shape of the M5 mirrors, but the standard E60 mirrors don't bother me. Nor does not having a rear windshield wiper. I live in Southern California. What the hell is rain?

I am glad it doesn't have a rear wiper. Those are ugly and of questionable value IMHO.

ever heard of RAIN-X ??? try it and this pet peeve will go away real soon! 
Altho the mirrors are square-ish, they go well with the car as its kinda square-ish too (im not spending $1500.00 for a set of mirrors...(M5 mirrors)
i voted "Neither issues bother me"

I voted to hate the wing mirrors. Not that I hate them but one thing bothers me. The bottom edge slopes up a lot. This has the effect of having them angled down a bit to get a decent view of the outer edge of the blind spot area. They could be shaped better.

Personally I just hate the shape of our e60 standard wing mirrors. It is just the wrong shape, the line does not follow at all for the body!
I mean even Mercedes has better looking standard mirror than the e60. :thumbsdown: Can't wait to get some m5 mirrors on my car, but they are sooo damn expensive!!!
