If retro fitting OEM M2C mirrors is out of the question (because of price) this is the next best option:

Correct. You reuse certain parts off of the OEM mirror and carry them over. There should be an instructional DIY video coming from them soon (once these new mirror covers are available for shipment I would assume)

Also, If you want you can always tint that white turn indicator strip so it looks more like the M2C/M3/M4 mirror. That's what I plan on doing anyways.

Don't do that krizze ...just look for a set of M4 seats or wait for someone to swap their M2C seats for something aftermarket. I looked at buying all the pieces and it is astronomical...then you have to put them together and get them installed/coded!! Just be patient and you will find some. I did and they are a perfect fit - and sit lower than the OG seats!!

Same goes for the mirrors TBH...better to find a set off an M3/4 at a wrecker...mirrors don't usually get damaged...you can swap/paint mirror covers if needed to match your car. That or the AutoID ones do look very close and are only a couple of hundred $$.

M3/4 mirrors arent a direct fit on the m2.
The seats done require coding to work at all.

No coding required if you swap out the wiring modules as well -becomes plug and play at that point. No coding done on my swap and they work perfectly, even the button on the back of the M4 seats. Only thing that doesn't work is the backlight for the seat badge. Per tech, that's a 3-4 hour rewire job for $1,000...no thanks, lol!

https://www.ff-tuning.de/performance...r=1515.Werneck these guys do a full retro fit of the mirrors including fitting for 1500 euros, as for the seats I never ever can find any, online they're either the wrong colour or they're not the ones I want, it's so frustrating because if I found some now I'd buy them straight away!


Also I spoke to IND and they said that "APPARENTLY " BMW will offer a retrofit for the M2 for the mirrors.....

We've just released a tutorial on how to fit our new wing mirror units.

Only thing missing from them IMO is a tint for the Indictor LED. We'll be looking to supply these with them when they ship though.

Tutorial here

+1000 to to tint...I actually started a thread about trying to find a solution...but this would make it easier and a nice "all in one" kit...would likely get guys on the fence to pull the trigger on purchase!!

I would say fitment is as good as OEM.

The OEM covers won't fit this unit as the fittings are different. This is a completely bespoke unit.
