vicfalc09 | BMW M Performance Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap Installation
I installed the M Performance Carbon Fiber Mirrors today for my G20 M340i. This installation is not as straight forward as previous models as you will see below. There would be further mirror disassembly required if I did not break the clips. See below:
Step 1 - Pop the mirror off by tilting it all the way up from the electronic controls and use a plastic trim tool to pry off. Step 2 - Locate the 4 screws shown here to remove black gloss shroud from mirror. Step 3 - Remove an additional two screw that attach mirror cover to lighting strip. Step 4 - Pull mirror cover away from vehicle the only tabs still holding it on are the 3 at the bottom of the mirror cover that I broke when pulling off. Step 5 - Attach lighting strip to new Carbon Fiber mirror cover with screws. Re attach mirror cover to mirror assembly ensuring all clips engage. Re attach mirror connections and electronics.

Love the detailed instructions on the installation. I really want to get the Shadow Line Gloss Black version of the mirror caps but I am on the fence about the Carbon Fiber look with my Dravit Grey Metallic finish. It seems you have the same color M340i, How do you like the contrast between the two finishes?

My goal was to get rid of all the cerium grey as I don't like it at all. |

Have your already ordered the front grill replacement? If so, what part number and where did you order from? I called my local dealership and they are clueless on how to order the correct parts for me.

I'm in the same boat. My dealership is clueless on the part # for the Shadow line 340i grill as well!! Driving me crazy. If it's an option in Canada, it's got to be something we can receive in the states. ....Anybody have any leads or suggestions? Also... who's replaced their cerium gray bumper trim? My body shop quoted a stupid price to remove/paint/replace the gray inserts. What do ya'll think... is this a simple plug & play or pro job? |

I've done this countless times on present and past BMWs but theG20 I would have struggled with if it wasn't for this DIY. Thanks for taking the time to document and share! I'll file this away for when the time comes

Just installed my Carbon Fiber mirror caps. I like this design with the extended wing!
