I’m super conflicted. I’m going for a more aggressive black and red build on my Melbourne red 340i and I love the m style mirrors, but I’m conflicted on whether or not I’d be a poser lol. Autotechnic has some “inspired” slightly different styles, but I can’t find anything in carbon that’s really significantly different and I’m just not in love with the m performance style.

Any advice?
Any inspiration?

IMO it will always come down to individual taste. When I go to car shows or gatherings, I will generally see something that inspires me, but I also see things that I think "what the hell is wrong with you" so to each his own.

Mind

I went for the Akrapovic M2 carbon fiber mirror covers. I like the different design, not trying to be M3/4 mirror imitators… top quality like MPerformance as well. Available in gloss or matte finish.

Holy shit, wow, these are incredible. I think I may have my answer!

Do you have other carbon bits on your car? That weave seems pretty unique, so I wonder if I could match it on the spoiler and front lip

I did the matte mirrors with MP everywhere else..
I ended up later adding blackout to the mirror indicator lights.

M performance lip and spoiler? That looks mean! Have a close up of the mirrors? I’m kind of obsessed Lolol. The mp parts aren’t carbon right?

[visionaut]

Yup. The MP splitter and spoiler for F36 were only made in gloss CF…

The CF weave is similar between the two. The mirror covers are full CF, not a skin over plastic. They mount with screws just like the MP CF mirror covers.

Damn, I’ll have to find solid ones for my f30, but thank you for the amazing pics, I have my choice 😮‍💨🔥🔥

those do look really nice. I think I'm inspired.

[SharpDrives]

Lol so, I was inspired, until someone came up with the v3 autotecknic mirrors for $275, couldn’t pass that up vs paying $700 for the akrapovics 😓

Nope.... not lame at all. These are on my never ending upgrade list. The Akra's are cool, but I can't justify the cost!

not a big fan of M style mirror caps, especially since M3 mirrors are plug and play. if you want winged mirror, I would just get the full OEM M3 mirror assembly second hand and install them and do it properly. But the cost is too high for most people to do that so they just go with the mirror cap only version which I don't think look good at all.

in my neck of the woods every single toyota camry and infiniti has amazon winged mirror caps, the coolness factor of them completely wore out for me personally.

love the Akras, considered them for a long while but really didn't like that they put their logo on the caps. but props on owning a fairly rare part that you almost never see on F3Xs
