My mirrors came in. It was a tougher job than I thought but not too bad. This thread helped a ton. They look better in person than in pictures IMO. I don't have any irregular wind noise.

@qnet glad to see you got them installed! Let us know if you discover any wind noise over a few more drives. Hopefully not, given that you had the information learned from Andrew and my mistakes it did take me a few drives to hear the whistling wind noise.
If you get a moment, could you snap some up close photos of the fitment of the bezel, housing, and caps? |

Another tip when putting these together. When you're attaching the wing shell after putting on the base, leave all the screws loose, even the one in the front that attaches the base and turn signal. Tighten the screws a little at a time, and in a crisscross pattern, like it recommends in video.
If you tighten on side too much, it can deform the shell and make it harder to line up and put together. I drove my car more, on regular roads and the highway, and have no irregular wind noise. I initially drove my car with the stock mirror shells with the windows down, and playing no music, so I could get an idea of how it should sound. |

I think it's a full replacement, but could be wrong. Pulled this from the other mirror thread: Edit: looks like the auction ended on the original turn signal strip. Here's another link for the strip: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/BMW-Side-Mi...wE&click=12691 Quote:

They fit well. It was a little frustrating working with them at first until I figured it out. They pretty much go on just like the OEM ones, but since they plug into the OEM socket vs. the OEM cord plugging into them, I had some extra wire to tuck away. They're the same ones Altra has posted the link about. They look bright enough but, it's cloudy today so that helps. The light doesn't extend all the way to the tip like the OEM signals, so you can't see them blinking on the end, from inside the car while driving. Last edited by qnet; 10-19-2018 at 06:44 PM.. |

If this clip is broken durning installation, the fitment will be effected. Unfortunately, we're not able to replace for free of charge if the tabs are broken (as spraying the caps are costly and are margins aren't huge), but I am happy to help out and replacement the mirror cap for the fee it costs us to spray each mirror cap. |
