Mirrors back to standard

[Paul Rice]

One of the few mods last year to the E89, black mirror caps, never really convinced of the look. the juries out!

So after a bit of a repair to the clips original white caps back on

What do you think?

I do prefer the white if I'm honest, but then I am a bit James May about things (keep it stock). Well mostly, anyway . . .

Facelift silver side indicators though ? (I know Tony did, mine came fitted)

Yes its something i have been looking at, doesnt show up on white very well though

 

[AleNod]

Yeah it does. Better than the white placky thing anyway . . .

Not that I'm trying to influence you mind . . .

You have the tractor front end, front wheel to arch gap is huge on the 23i, I lowerd mine as it drove me mad.

@Paul Rice
Paul you can embrace the whole white look and it can look really good .
I have a couple of pictures of an E89 that was in the work a few years ago
It was white with white diamond cut alloys white calipers and carrier etc looked quite crisp.
Will try find pics and post up for you to see.

Our alpine white was a facelift, so came with the chromed 'tick' ones. IMO a much better look than the 'blobs'. The white one was one of the best cars we have ever owned, even though it was a lowly 18i (remapping made it a different car). I got rid of the 'essay' on the wings too!

Thanks for this made my mind up also been thinking about deleting the confusing badges. Took the ones of the E85 brought the paint of as well so a bit cautious!
