Unhappy

Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel.

For those of you who learnt that Volvo 200 Series door mirrors might be an acceptable substitute for the E24 door mirror, well your suspicions are well-founded.

The Volvo mirror style you need to look at is the one carried between roughly 1981 and 1984, and one enterprising Australian took time to compare Volvo and BMW.

You can find his photographic report HERE

Intriguing...
