Mirror caps

itschuto · 11-20-2017, 03:11 AM

Ive seen a few 340's around with the M3 mirror caps..
My car has blind spot monitoring, i was wondering if there are any of these M3 style mirror caps that i can put on my car that wouldnt mess up the functionality of the blind spot monitoring?

Mirror caps of any kind should have no effect on blind spot monitoring

M3 have totally different shape.

No way to change that with a just a mirror cap.

You need a total retrofit.

I believe the OP was talking about mirror caps similar to these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/M3-Look-Car....c100005.m2219

They give you a very similar look without a complete retrofit. You can find them paintable, carbon fiber, etc.

Not the symbol.. the blind spot indicator, the triangle light on the mirror

Old thread I know.....lol. But like stated above it shouldn't effect it. The indicator is on the inner housing and away from the cap.
