Perhaps paying up is worth it just to avoid the hassle of dealing w unreliable products.

Here is their eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-2-SERIES...41550c&vxp=mtr

I wrapped my mirrors and diffuser to match my black car

Still debating if it's worth it. I may just bite the bullet.

The M Performance covers look great. Go for it.

Kind of an off question but for the same topic.....can we buy color matched covers for those who do not want to do the carbon thing?

Yes, from IND. I color matched on my EB M235i. I thought the silver covers looked ridiculous.

200 bucks....wonder if I can find someone with a MG 228 that is switching over to carbon

Exotics Tuning · 11-24-2014, 12:28 AM

We also had the mirror covers available ^^

$250 each

Badhand · 11-25-2014, 02:02 PM

Wrapped mine to match the rest of the car. But if I was going CF, I'd dip them....

You're right, these are aftermarkets (not oem)

F80_M · 11-26-2014, 11:29 AM

Just install my CF caps

mikeyymonster · 12-08-2014, 07:51 PM

Just curious if anyone has a picture of a mineral grey m235i with a gloss black mirror cover. I'm debating whether to do that or go with the body color.

Here is a space grey 335is. The 335is came with gloss black mirrors. Not exactly the same, but a good idea...

Perfect, thanks! It actually looks a little off.. so I guess I'll stick to the body color matched mirrors.

Dr Fatpuss · 12-09-2014, 11:16 PM

The price is for a pair.

I am 0 for 2.

DO NOT BUY from seller tuningstore1949 or owolf_carbon

Both do not fit properly and are not good quality. I was at least able to get my money back from owolf_carbon but tuningstore1949 is giving me the run around and won't refund my money.

Here are the links for the ones I tried to buy.

Agh wish I had seen this. I just got mine from owolfe_carbon and they don't fit worth a damn. Sent the seller an email but haven't heard anything back. Probably have to get ebay involved.

RDKing2 · 12-29-2014, 11:15 PM

Just installed the covers I got from IND

Used a cut credit card under the outside edge to get a grip, then pull. Putting thumb on the non removable under part helps. Sounds like it is going to break then pops off.

Thanks for the heads up, waiting to buy these after more feedback.

So has anyone found CF look mirror caps that actually fit and that are sold by a reputable seller? It seems like eBay is a rat's nest.
