Hey everyone! I'm aware the OEM M Performance mirror caps are no longer available from BMW, so I'm looking to buy yours. Please PM if you have a set in good condition. TIA.

True enough. They do show up on here now and then, but you better reach out to the seller in the first 5 minutes or forget it, lol! I have pretty much resigned myself to a set from Karbonius. Theirs are the only other ones available that are all carbon fiber just like the OE, and not just a little carbon slapped on top of an regular shell.

Nobody wanted them when BMW was still selling them at $700.00! Until they were discontinued.

I know they're not OEM but Karbonius makes some and their carbon work is excellent.

Same. Been searching for about 9 months now and most people are asking $800+ for OEM caps or $750+ for an OEM E90 spoiler, and as much as I want OEM, there's a certain $ limit where it just doesn't make sense.

karbonius cf mirror caps are 99.5% close to oem. Fitment its almost perfect, 2x2 weave patern is different than oem,there are some cut outs on oem that karbonius doesn't have and I think that's why fitment is not 100% perfect. And last thing is color,see pics and tell me what you think.

It's the little things like weave pattern flowing with the lines of the car that prove BMW once was a beautiful automaker.
