2010+ Model CF Mirrors

135 Jie · 09-20-2010, 01:06 AM

Hey guys

Just wondering if anyone here has purchased a set of CF mirror covers for the 2010/2011 model mirrors? I am very interested in getting a set, but don't really want to go through the dealer. They quoted me $600 each or $1,200 for a set!!! I don't know what the going price is in the US or UK, but I have a feeling $600 is a bit excessive...

Anyone with experience, contacts, or know of a supplier, your help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

$1200!!! need to re finance just for mirror covers. I had them on my last 135 but the car came that way from the dealer so I am not much use on this one. vivid seem to be selling them for the $600 mark but that's not including shipping and I agree that even $600 is a bit excessive.

135 Jie · 09-20-2010, 01:31 AM

Yeh tell me about it... I just looked on the vivid site and it looks like the mirror covers offered are only for the 2008-2009 models? There a few sites selling the earlier CF mirror covers, but I still haven't seen any sites stocking the new 2010+ dumbo ear CF mirrors

There is a company in the states called ICarbon, they seem to make really good quality parts at a fair price, also there is an e-bay seller called Directparts4u Auto World who sell a whole list of German grade carbon fiber parts for all BMW"s, these guys are also worth a look.

Orlin · 09-20-2010, 02:05 AM

Oh yeh my bad, I had a quick look at the iCarbon thread but I think that might be 2008 - 2009 models also. They were priced at about $350usd ex delivery though which seems more reasonable.

lol BMW always has good sense of humour! EWS is organising an iCarbon gb this week, please chime in if you are interested, our iCS mirror covers for 2010 models are priced at $420 + domestic shipping on pre order basis at the moment.

Cheers,

Oh so iCarbon are offering the CF mirror covers for 2010+ models? If so thats awesome, ill definitely be putting my name down for the GB! I have previously browsed over their site and could only find the older mirror covers in CF.

The BMW CF caps are really nice. In the US they aren't that expensive. I think under $500 for the pair. Here are some pics from a 123d I saw recently with the BMW CF parts.

135 Jie · 09-20-2010, 05:02 AM

Yeah they look awesome, will go well with the iCarbon diffuser which is currently on its way. I was hoping that I could source them from the US somewhere as the exchange rate atm is looking pretty sweet...

Tim, see what happens when you sell out?

135 Jie · 09-20-2010, 06:02 PM

Yeah, I think I like the old mirrors more too, but its a quick and easy way to tell the difference between models lol

matty, I reckon the 1M ones will just be vanilla M3 units.
