I just did it accordingly on the facelift model and it’s really that easy. 15 minutes. Nothing broke, the caps fit just as well as the original ones. Thanks for the instructions!
Mine all done and fitted quickly. Only a couple mins each side thanks to your very clear and helpful video. Many thanks again and look forward to your futures videos.
Great video and just ordered these for my 40d. I think you having a gloss black finish really helps with the extra mods you have fitted. Not sure the front splitter or side skirts would look quite as good on my photonic Blue 🤔👍🏻
Tried this and was worried my mirrors would break. Luckily checked the comments. No need to remove mirror, trim tool around the caps and they pop off easily. Ones off ebay did not fit my x3 facelift 2022 model though!
Hey, below is the front lip spoiler I have in my car. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164122998008?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_0ndp6bySf2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=36rQjoJ8RVG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hey, the splitter is the below: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-X3-G01-X3M-GLOSS-BLACK-M-PERFORMANCE-FRONT-LIP-SPLITTER-SPOILER-OEM-FIT-17-/164122998008?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I had it on my 20d, but have since got an M40i. I put the splitter on my M40i and recorded it, so will put a video up soon hopefully.
Great video! Any video on the front lip splitter? What is your opinion on getting a one piece front lip vs the ones that come in 4 pcs that have to be screwed on together before mounting on the car? Thanks.
@@ghostrider3547 after watching your video I bought and fitted the wing mirrors. Looks brilliant and your instructions were superb 👍🏻. I’ve found the M double slated front grille online for £59 and I’ll look for the side fender M badge but how did you fit it? Any links appreciated 👍🏻
The badge didn’t come in my double slat grille so I ordered a cheap x3m grille badge from Ali express that fit on my grilles (so that I had the fixing for the grille badge. I then removed the cheap looking x3m badge (as looked cheap and mine isn’t an X3M), ordered a gloss black “m” fender badge from eBay and stuck that on the grille badge fixing. 😀. Subtle but looks quite good in my opinion haha.
@@ghostrider3547 superb mate, it looks really good and I can see you’ve done some investigating to find a good solution. I’ve the standard gloss black grille but realise from looking I’d need that double slate type before doing the same. I’ve ordered the wing mirrors so that’s one job done and then I’ll sort the grilles 😉👍🏻
These are the grilles I put in mine if it helps. Had them for a long time and they have been great quality: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRILLE-FOR-BMW-X3-X4-G01-G02-SPORT-KIDNEY-DOUBLE-SLAT-M-LOOK-GLOSS-BLACK-/274005168304?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
Thanks for sharing this video. I feel confident enough to do them myself now. With the extra piece of trim at the top of the new caps, do you notice any increase in wind noise?
Hey, I don’t think the ones I have would as these fit the G series X3. The 2014 X3 is known as an F25 model, so you would need something like the below link: a.aliexpress.com/_mtCij85
Tried this and shattered my mirror. It’s not necessary to remove. Did the other side just prying off the cap and it worked perfectly. I recommend not doing this!

Thank you 😊
Simply great!

Did you find the answer to this?
When driving at high-speed do the mirrors make a whistling sound?...
Yeah a little bit, but only noticeable if the window is open. It is the same on the genuine X3M mirrors also. 👍🏻
Thank you so much.
Where did u get the m logo from your mirror?
Nice vid. Which badge do you have on the grill? Cheers
It is a gloss black “M” side fender badge. 👍🏻

@@ghostrider3547 how did you attach that to the grill!? I have the same black badge lying around
Did you have to replace your front Kidney Grille to get the M logo? Trying to find this online 👍🏻

Whats your car color?

Thanks mate! 🍻
How did those hold up so far?
Thank you.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks
Danke!
Hello, How is the quality of it now? Do they came off any time? Or everything is good?
Quality of them are just the same as when I installed them. No colour change or warping etc 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing this video. I feel confident enough to do them myself now. With the extra piece of trim at the top of the new caps, do you notice any increase in wind noise?
Hey, no not really, maybe a little bit but nothing that I notice. A small sacrifice for a slightly cooler look 😂
@@ghostrider3547 I've done them now and I'm very please with the carbon look. I don't notice any wind noise difference at all. Thanks again.
Hi, Did you ordered from the Aliexpress?? Is it a trustable site? Please let me know
will this mirror fit my 2014 X3 28i?
Hey, I don’t think the ones I have would as these fit the G series X3.
The 2014 X3 is known as an F25 model, so you would need something like the below link:

Good vid but the background music is horrendous and annoying
Good job
