Try black ambient & diffuse with a white specular (the specular color mixes with the reflection). Now adjust the shine as you wish (100% Shininess & Shininess Strength would be a perfect mirror). The Reflection Blur slider will influence the blur of the refelction, and a perfect mirror would be 0 or 1 (no parameter adjustments for reflection maps). The Reflection Map slider throttles the percentage of the reflection in a manner similar to adjusting a white specular's luminance (so 100% would be a full reflection). – Phil p.s. Once you have it assigned to a flat plane, and its working to your satisfaction, save that object out as its own 3DS file – you now have a mirror you can merge at any time.
