Yellowed side mirrors (mirror part not paint)

It seems my side mirrors are very yellowish, the mirror insert part, not the painted outside bit. Is this normal?

If not, what's the best way to sort this, left and right re both exactly the same.

Cheers

You're not by chance wearing a yellow shirt as you look into the mirror are you?

Does the Z4 use the same auto dimming mirror P/N as the Z4 M?

Actually, I'm not sure either. I thought it and it made me giggle, so I typed it. A large part of my life involves amusing myself, or at least that's what the Mrs. tells me.

I had my last Z4 for ~6 years and the mirrors were one part that didn't seem to be affected by the age. They were still crystal clear when I replaced it.
