  • In this video I install a set of M style carbon fiber mirror caps for my 2020 G20 M340i. My stock mirror caps were cerium gray and I got tired of them constantly looking discolored from fingerprints or rain water.
    This is technically the first modification I have made to my M340i. It definitely will not be the last.
    If you're interested in purchasing a set for yourself you can get them here (affiliate):

    Actually you don't need to remove the mirror. Those two clips on the inside can be easily accessed by a prying tool (slimmer one). Put your mirror in the lowest possible position and that's it. I've done it on both sides now.

      Absolutely. ZERO reason to take the mirrors off. Point the mirrors all the way down. You can use a pick tool, or even a flathead screwdriver, to get the upper tabs pushed up/down.

    BMW: AHHH. It was too easy to remove the mirror caps on E series.
    Design Department: Let's force them remove the glass first
    BMW: YES. Then they have to buy replacement glass. Approved.

    Thanks a bunch, when I checked the link it didn't show fitment for a 2020 G20 M340i, only a 330i but I said what the heck from your channel tutorials you know what you are talking about. I bought the last of 64 sold. Subbed immediately.
