Wonderful images. Sometimes I regret my decision going with LBB. But my dad always buys black cars and they look terrible when dirty and it is so hard to keep them clean.

Still, you have one menacing bea2t out there

BSM all the way, it can look elegant and sinister at the same time.

I don't recommend them. The quality is less than desirable. The mirror side of the cover is unfinished- really not happy about that. If I can confirm Autoid's are finished, I will order a set of those. https://autoid.uk.com/products/perfo...nt=27061943303
AUTO ID's are not finished in CF on the visible backside IMO. I had a set ready for an M2 I didn't take (although I'm still here thinking that over and over!).

If it helps to describe them, mine were CF. Front facing was a beautiful flawless MPerf kit like finish and excellent gloss, very very happy with that. The side you see from the car though was finished in gloss black and didn't blend that well with the overall mirror housing I felt. 9/10 though from me and I wouldn't knock the price and quality.

I sold mine to DThr33 who might post you a pic. His MRed F30 looks sweet.

Damn this thread. It's luring me into a BSM train of thought like my M4.

When clean in the UK BSM is 11/10
The other 99.4% of the time in the UK BSM for me is 3/10

Snap!

I love my LBB, but my dad loves black cars. I do too, but for daily driving it's can be challenging to keep clean.

That said, I'm lucky I can go to his and pinch his BSM M2 when I feel like a change






Btw - are you same 'eau_rouge' from M3Forum? Had no idea you bought an M2, I've been on M3F for a while (Dal), had an E46M before the M2.

Gloss finish is still better than this. I do have oem paint that I guess I could use on the covers- annoying.

Just stepped outside to take a look, the bit facing you is indeed carbon fibre but the underside of the little winglet is gloss black.

Uploaded some pics from when I first installed them here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8uvczts4o...A9LOafMGa?dl=0

Let me know if you want any more pics of the mirrors, I'll take some this weekend in the daylight

Thanks! I just checked the sellers pictures and they were shown as gloss as well. I'll just get the autoid ones. Everyone has good things to say about them.

No unfortunately not. Only (BMW) forum I am active sometimes is this one. But I do have a M346, so could have been!

Exactly!

although i am thinking about wrapping mine, i had these 2 designs made, maybe even leave the black and have gold wheels,

either that or wrap it in paint protection film!

i do prefer the red with black wheels ( they are different shades of red ) and also in that case get the calipers done in red.

I had to pull the cover off today and admire my baby. Sitting at 2053km, got it in June and had minimal chance to drive it, finished break in and got maybe 2 or 3 good WOTs in before I put her to sleep for the winter. Included a couple from the summer too.
