Asymmetrical wing mirrors!

[decrep]

I just stood at the front of the bonnet and sighted down the inside edge of the mirrors, and yes passenger side points towards the car body, driver points away from the car.
Sorry I'm getting old and forgetful, forgot what happened between car and keyboard.

I have noticed this before and I'm pretty sure I've seen it on others cars I've owned as well. (BMW's)
Didn't give it a second thought.

Always assumed it was just the 'angle of the dangle' ?

Glad we've cleared that up. ?

Any chance I can have an augmented username in recognition of unexampled services to the MG-buying public?

Twitter is available after Elon has taken your X , so how about Captain Twitter Power. If its too long you could always shorten it!

Now that we all know what asymmetry I'm talking about, would anyone care to confirm that the same applies to their own XPower?

I bet a hundred quid they all have this.

Of course they will all have it, it's not like it's a mistake.

Asymmetric wing mirrors whilst not common, are certainly not unique. Plenty of cars have had them over the years. Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Skoda to name a few have had them.

If you really want your mind blown, Google the Mercedes W124 and look at some front on pictures. That's the most well known one and really is an 'interesting' design choice.

It's not often one can claim a world first and this is mine. ?

It's the little things in life that give the most pleasure....

I've just checked my Australian version of the 2018 Oppel station wagon.
The mirrors are at an almost identical angle to the MG4

Surely it's so you can achieve the correct glass angle without the glass on one side looking over adjusted in the surround. If you want symmetrical mirrors buy a McLaren F1 and sit in the middle. ?
