Removing the external side mirror from the BMW F30 has never been easier, thanks to today's video guide that will explain what to do. The first step is to remove the door switch panel. To do this, simply use a plastic trim tool to gently pry it off, then disconnect the connector.

Next, remove the upper plastic cover of the door, followed by the lower cover, being careful not to break the plastic clips or screws. Now, using a cross wrench, remove the three bolts securing the mirror and gently pull it out. To install a new mirror, just follow the same steps in reverse order.
