Was a passenger side mirror an option?

[gwb72tii]

For my 1972 tii. Now that I am forced to disassemble and repaint my car, I’ve had a RH trapezoid mirror that I have never mounted. I will need to buy a passenger door for the restoration, so drilling necessary holes etc. would be no problem.

But…..was a RH trap mirror an option in 1972? I want to keep the restoration as close to stock as possible.

 

TIA

Yes, but it was dealer installed just like a radio and antenna.

Yeah, the passenger mirror was an add-on, not factory. Of course with dual mirrors, one was stock for RHD and one was stock for LHD… so yeah, both stock.  
 

And I don’t think even many purists would sneer at dual mirrors if proper vintage…

I think I have a genuine BMW rust free r/h door with mirror I'd part with PM me if interested I'm in North Bend so pick up would be simple.

Paddy Hopkirk made the same mirror, mainly in black. They also came on the Mitsubishi Colt of the same era. I know this as I wanted a pax mirror on my RHD and researched as I didn't want to pay BMW mirror prices. There are several Paddy Hopkirk ones on eBay UK. Right side are easy here probably much like left are easy in the US.

My 74tii has a passenger door trap mirror.  It was a dealer installed option.  Also they installed it free due to screw up in their delivery process.
