So probably thats what happened to those few you have seen with body coloured mirrors.

Yep, from what I've read here the production numbers for the 35is were very low (SickFinga estimates 1,948 total in the NA market, if I'm reading correctly) and I believe they all got the silver mirror/roll bar treatment.
I have an early 2011 35is (which also has the original, worst set of paddle shifters I've ever seen...BMW apparently changed them out very quickly when it became apparent how easy it was to unintenionally upshift the vehicle) in deep sea blue and have considered painting both several times. That originality is the only thing holding me back.
