Mirror - if you've got the glass, then some double-sided tape should work fine.

If you don't mind spending a little money, Taliaferro sells the Euro-market aspheric mirrors - inner 2/3 is flat, outer 1/3 is wide-angle. Got one on my M5, once you've used it you don't *ever* want to give it up. I've got one on order but they're waiting on a batch from Yurrup. The one Saab part I've found that's cheaper than the corresponding BMW part...

As for the washer bottle, yeah, it's a b*tch. Assuming it's like my '92 (I know they changed them a couple times): pull the RF wheel, pull the front half of the liner, lift the evap canister out of its bracket and fish it out of the way, the bottle has three steel stand-offs that bolt to the engine-compartment side, two of which IIRC also hold the AC accumulator, and aren't too easy to get to. The bottle cracks around the standoffs, or at least mine and a couple junkyard examples I've seen have.

Caution - in my case the new one was *not* an exact match for the old, the filler neck shape was subtly different, if you just put the screw back through the upper mounting tab and wrench it down you'll twist the bottle on the stand-offs and probably guarantee it'll crack too. I needed a spacer (think it was ~3/16in thick) behind the upper mounting tab on the filler neck.
