Anyone bought M3 side mirror cover non CF?

There are bunch on aliexpress but i am just asking if anyone ever bought one and tell me their quality.

I want to buy a non carbon fiber one since i want to paint it to match my car body color.

Don’t want to buy one that ends up being too thin or have wrong clips so it can’t attach to the mirror housing.

Thank you.

M3 won't fit your F3x car. You need M3 mirrors for that. That's about $1k...

I did for my f30 when I had it off eBay. Paint match was okay. Certain angles it looked slightly off. Fitment was good.

No...you don't. There are many F8x style mirror caps that fit F3x side mirror housings.

M3 isn't M3 style. OP asked about M3 caps, those will only fit F8x.
