Removing the side mirror caps on an M3

I'm considering getting the carbon fiber mirror caps for my M3. On that note, is the install easy? Seems stupid to pay the 1hr of labor my local dealer will charge on a project that probably takes 10 minutes.

Anyone with recommendations on how to remove the mirror caps...it would be greatly appreciated!!!

just get your finger nails in between the mirror cap and housing and pull slowly. No special tools needed.

once you get the parts, there is a manual inside.

on that manual, it states that, installation is less than 15 mins. i believe dealer cannot charge you more than that much of time.

It literally took me all of 5 min, popping the old ones off is easy, just pull from the bottom up.

Putting the new ones on is a little tougher, put them on top first and make sure everything lines up, otherwise take them off and try again.

Hope this helps
