I know my driver's side mirror (F11 wagon) appears to distort the view, as it pulls in the wider view angle, away from the car.
I don't think the glass itself is the issue either, no. Didn't from the onset, as it had been perfectly clear up until I picked it up after the dealer attempted to fix the wound noise issue by applying felt tape under the CF mirror covers. It is/was distorted, however, and dealer chose to attack the glass as the likely cause first (and second and third).

Dealer SA and tech both agreed it still isn't reflecting properly so next step is to replace the mirror motor, as it serves as the direct connection to the glass. Should be completed on Monday - I'll report back with findings.
