M3 Style mirrors on a F30

Are there any aftermarket mirrors in the same shape and form like the ones from the M3 that will fit a F30?

I can't find them anywhere. Thought about calling BMW and asking them if the OEM ones will fit and work but I highly doubt it. This being Thailand, they might not even know what I am talking about.

Thanks! I would totally go for the OEM, I just wasn't sure if they fit right out of the box.

Someone has already done this on a wagon. Price is upwards of $2K. Little pricy for a cosmetic mod.

Yes, they fold if the correct ones are ordered.

I think he means these which are just mirror covers instead of replacements

I've had these for a couple months now and have been experiencing terrible wind noise on the driver side mirror when im driving over 40 mph. Im not sure if one of the mirror caps is flawed (in that case, i'll purchase another set) or if they all create wind noise. Anyone else have this issue??

Hate to threadjack, but with people with the clip on carbon ones, who makes the best ones? I have some normal carbon aftermarket ones and they are cracking pretty bad.

As this thread jumps all over the place, it’s impossible to know what you have installed to answer you.
