Mirror Caps

i4M50Guy · 08-07-2020, 06:19 PM

Trying to work out the best colour mirror caps to go with to replace the horrible stock ones that come with the X3 M40i.

The car is Sophisto Grey so I'm thinking gloss black or carbon fibre.

Does anyone have any pictures to help me decide?

Check out Autotecknic. I bought the carbon fiber caps.

Thinking about replacing my mirror caps as well. I saw a video that you have to remove the mirror and the motor, basically a complicated process. Is that the only way or is there an easier way?

You don't need to remove the glass. Just use a credit card to pop the caps off the back.

Yes it is

The Carbon fiber lip is made by 3D Design. IND-Distribution.com sells the front lip and rear diffuser made by 3D Design. The mirror covers and grille are from Autotecknic.com. I also have Carbon fiber side vents from autotecknic.
