    If you got a BMW SUV of current generation (BMW X3 G01, BMW X4 G02, BMW X5 G50, BMW X6 G06 or BMW X7 G07) with the standard mirrors and you like the look of the higher trim version look that comes on the M-Sport or M series cars, this is the video for you! In only 5 minutes, you can upgrade the look of your BMW by changing the mirror caps from standard boring looking ones to black or even carbon fiber M style ones.

    Why not just remove mirror cap and replace than to remove mirror itself🤷‍♂️

      Not true, i just did mine, WITHOUT removing my mirror. Doing it your way will have my mirror broke. Please do NOT try it this way!! I have a 2020 X6M50i & the cover popped right off from the back side
      Mirror still attached. ​@SimpleCarGuy

    Do you have a video or instructions of how to remove the lower cover (where the camera is). i scraped the lower cover and need to change it. I would prefer not to remove the whole assembly from the door. Thanks.

      Sorry, don’t have a video for that, but I’m pretty sure the entire unit has to be removed

    Are they real carbon fiber? Or just hydrodipped plastic?

    • @SimpleCarGuy
      @SimpleCarGuy  10 місяців тому

      This one was real carbon fiber. It was $30-40 difference, if I remember correctly.

    Do NOT! I repeat, DO NOT do this method. You can pop the cap off. I just did this on my wife's g05 50i. There are a lot of videos that show you how easy it is to remove the cap and NOT THE MIRROR.

    • @SimpleCarGuy
      @SimpleCarGuy  2 місяці тому +1

      This is the method recommended by BMW. You CAN pop off just the cap, but you can also break the parts where the clip goes in and the new cap will be loose

    Follows this video and almost broke my mirror... misleading! You can just remove the cap with a trim. No need to remove mirror.

      It’s possible without, but you risk breaking the clip that the cap clips into

    Do not believe those easy replacement vidoes. Yes, it is doable, but it took me 30 minutes and I have to cut srips of steel to keep clips open on X3 F25 to remove just one cap
