Default Drivers side mirror glass weird / distorted

Recently purchased the rs3 2017 model and the drivers side mirror glass has a zoomed in/magnified view very different from the passengers side glass. It seems to have been replaced for some cheap ****e. Am I right or is the drivers side mirror supposed to have a different view?

Is that RS3 a Qatar/Dubai model...purchased new or used.....Glass used by Audi for North American models is flat glass and aspherical ( a better form of convex) glass for Europe on the driver side mirror. A magnified view makes no sense on a driver side mirror and I can not see Audi installing that type of glass.

it's used and the cars come from the states. I think the mirror must have been hit previously and the previous owner replaced it with some ****. Will get Audi to put a new one in asap.
