Yes. I have a company near me that cuts non standard glass pieces and mirrors, maybe they will help. Maybe you have one and can take measurements of the mirror?

So where about do you live then?
As for fitting normal mirror glass, it might be good to know that the original mirrorglasses are curved, for better sight from the driving position. Hence the difference between driver and passenger side glass... this effect will not be there with normal mirror glass.

I live in Lithuania. On my BMW mirrors aren't curved, at least I don't think so.
