Yes, mirror housing assembly is exactly identical across all G05s. Swap away!

Just got 'em today. They look better than I thought they would, very happy with the results! Perfect match with the grill. Easy to install and OEM fit of course. Here's some quick garage pics.

so did you just manually take off the original ones by hand, or did you have to use tools? did you have to take the mirrors out first to take off the oem covers?

I've changed a lot of mirror caps on previous BMW's and these have been the easiest to remove. I just used a trim tool to get an edge up and gently worked my way around the cap with my hands. They both popped off without breaking any tabs.

Same here. They look great. I was thinking of getting the gloss black, but havent decided yet.

Look very nice. I should receive the cerium gray grille and mirror caps next week. How difficult was the grille install? Wondering if I can do both myself

Both were easy for me. If you've never replaced parts check out YouTube for some tips. You should be fine doing them yourself.

I love the look.

I have considered swapping them on my 40i and possibly doing the matching front grille.

Thanks for posting pics.
