IND | BMW M Performance F95 X5M / F96 X6M Carbon Mirror Cap Set Install Guide



Tools Required:
  • Pry Tool
  • Painter's Tape

STEP 1: Place a layer of painter’s tape against the mirror base to prevent any damage during the mirror cap removal process.

STEP 2: Wedge a pry tool inside the channel between the mirror cap and base. Twist the pry tool along the channel at multiple points to help pop the mirror cap away from the base.

STEP 3: Line the BMW M Performance carbon cap up with the mirror base. Once properly in position, use uniform pressure to snap the carbon cap into place. Repeat this procedure on the other side.

These will only fit the F95 X5M, not the G05 X5 as the housings are different.

Do these also fit the F97/98? Someone said they use the same mirrors as the F95/96.
