I know what you mean, but with the rains the way they are here, the wing mirrors do get totally covered in drops and seeing objects in them is quite difficult.

Lets see what happens, and in the meanwhile, I'll search on AliExpress for a mobile cover

Added some F97 Carbon Fiber mirror caps to my car. Love the look! Also added the black exhaust piece (stick on from eBay) to the rear exhausts (excuse the dirty car from the rain this weekend).

Upcoming mod:

Lol. Don't be mad at me, you're the one dressing up your car to be something it's not. I was just busting chops about the fake badge, and meant why not an X5 ///M Competition badge while you're at it...

You spent a lot of money on your 40i, no reason to pretend it's more than it is. It's already a great car!

It's not always about pretending. Sometimes it is as simple as what Juan likes as a visual or not. Thanks for the suggestion/opinion and let's MoveOn.

If you are asking about if there is a gap between the tip of the pointed part of the cap and the A pillar then yes there is.
