I saw this today:

It looks like a normal side mirror, but it has 5 notches on the top. I'm wondering whether those could be vortex generators? The car is a BMW 330 Cd (not that I even look at Beemers, but this caught my ecomodder-trained eye). The other mirror also had them. I don't know what year this model is, or whether the mirrors are OEM or aftermarket.
