Just wondering if this is a simple DIY task or I have to have a professional do it.

I havent seen the F30 instructions yet, but usually one can just pop out the mirror glass and then get access to the fasteners at the back of the mirror cap.

Then just unscrew the fasteners, replace the cap, refasten and insert the glass again

No touching the doors at all

Only thing is to be careful when popping out the mirror glass so you dont crack it
