M2 Carbon Fiber Mirror caps

I have to say, that I do love the Carbon Fiber side mirror Caps. If you have an M2, definitely worth it!

My came with them stock from the dealer

They don't really do anything for me on the LBB but white probably needs them for some contrast.

I agree. I'm putting them on my white M2 when it gets here. I bought a set from getBMWparts.com (they shipped from BMW of Silver Spring in Maryland) for $520.00 plus shipping; best deal I could find.

I like em, nice touch....I had them before my current M3/4 style CF Caps...

I know people hate, but I am the only one that thinks these drastically improve the look of the whole car...I think they should of came with ///M Mirrors OEM being its an M car?

I like your wheels

Out of curiosity, You have eibach/H&R?
EDIT-disregard...just saw your other post re ur setup.

Sorry OP for off topic. But re the mirrors, lots of relatively inexpensive alternatives to achieve the same oem cf look. Oem cost is crazy for these imo.

Yours "came" with them meaning you paid for them on the sticker.

Yup, I went to the dealer to purchase a second M4 then I saw the M2 in the middle of the room with a giant gift wrap next to an M4GTS. Couldnt resist

I paid 61k+ for my M2

From that side they look OK-ish, but from the drivers side they look awful and that is all you see.

Yeah the new ones I have are at least glossed over on my side. I try to ignore it.

Here are mine, on LBB
The main diff is I didn't pay $900, instead I paid $100. These are my stock LBB ones hydrodipped in carbon fibre. I'd say the stock CF mirror caps at their price is so NOT worth it.

This is (example of) what he did...informative site.

Awesome. If I could go without driving my car while this was being done, I would have gone this route. Wish I knew about this this past winter.
