This is a lease, so don't want to spend too much money on it
Probably going to order the Shadowline grills as well.

My car is a lease too, so for the mirror caps (and lower grey bumper trim for that matter) I will probably will have it wrapped gloss black.

I think for the brighter colored car a gloss black roof may look clean as well (similar contrast to an M-car with CF roof)...thoughts?

That's what I did... Primed caps and painted code 668 - BMW Jet Black...

From research and talking to installers.. the wrap on mirrors does not hold up as well as a fully wrapped car.

This is why I went with ordering those parts. At the end of the lease.. I could sell and get a little money back..

Why did you decide to get rid of it? Any aspects of the car you didn't like?
