In this video, we see how to change the caps of the external rearview mirrors on a BMW 1 Series E87 version (but the system is also valid for the 3 Series E90). Removing the plastic outer cap is easy: just press on it (or lever it with a plastic spatula) to remove the cap. We can find the carbon look Motorsport caps for example on E-Bay with the code 404308256208 at a price of 129.99 euros per pair, with free delivery.
