The M3/4 is from factory, but if you want the same thing, you have to buy the cover and paint it yourself or have body shop domit for you.

You have forgotten to mention, that the covers from the M4 are not fitting any F3x, when you plan to buy those covers and want to install them, you have to buy the mirrors on top.
Otherwise the post is correct and the body shop would do your actual caps for you.

I used something like the below link for my f30. It completely replaces the side mirrors and looks a little better than simply switching the caps. Takes a lot longer to install than just the caps, but I'm happy with them.

I found these at the link below. Depending if they provide the color of your car, should work ok. They apparently paint each when ordered so they may be able to do other colors if asked but don't quote me on that.

These are another option but they're carbon fiber so you're paying for that. They offer painting the entire mirror cap when requested.

Yeah I've thought about doing the same as well full housing replacements def look better than just the replacement caps. There doesn't seem to be an M style housing replacement set that has support for the side view cameras which sucks. I don't have the blind spot feature so don't need the "triangles" just some dang camera holes lol.

The OEM M4 mirrors probably work just fine and fit an F32 but I'm sure a set is like $1,000 eff all that noise!
