I want to chrome delete
Hello everyone,
I want to do a chrome delete to my car and in order to do it properly I need to remove the side mirrors. Has anyone removed the side mirrors from the door? What do I need to know? Thank you all! |

The side mirrors have chrome?
I just did window trims and door handles. The older g30s have chrome on the door handles

If so, it's pretty easy. Tilt the mirror down and away from the car, use something to pop the tabs from the inside, and use a trim removal tool to pull from the top. There's a couple of YouTube videos out there on it if you get stuck. |

2) Annoying yellow side markers in North America - RGSPORT to replace with body colour 3)Front grill double slat gloss black : eBay 4) Window trims + door handles (why do the older G30s have annoying part of door handles in chrome?!!!) in gloss black : paid a reputable vinyl wrap place to do it in gloss black. If you go this way find a place with good reviews. Looks just as good as BMW shadowline trim (except it's a vinyl wrap) All I have left is to get new black rims!

Cheaper than buying rims for 1500-2000 But if I want 20s than I may have to go that route.

Any of you guys do the delete/replacement of the upper active shutter behind the grill?
Most should be chrome if chrome package. I have that hideous iBlue being a 530e and want to change it out. |

I went to a vinyl wrap place. They did it for me for around 20-30$ Canadian per door. I think it was worth it as it was the last remaining Chrome piece on my car.

It's been great so far for around 1 year now! The place that did it for me gave me a 2 year warranty on the job if it falls off. It was way cheaper than replacing the door handles and I don't know any painters. I did it along with my window trims and its holding up amazing so far and I'm really happy with it. I want to add that I live in Canada in an area with a really hot summer and very cold winter and its still on. I do park the car indoors. I would find a reputable vinyl wrap place in your city with good reviews to make sure it is installed correctly and doesn't fall off. I find there are cheaper price places but they don't do good jobs.

I got lucky and found a m550i parts out with shadowline trims. Couldn't get my hands on the B&W. someone got there first 😂😂 Did take the trims out from the doors and replaced mine with it for fraction of dealer price. After you take front door tweeters out, there are three torx bolt underneath it. I think they were T30. Just make sure you hold the mirror while taking the last bolt out. After removing it you can easily take the trim pieces out. Take my "easily" with a grain of salt 😭 I wanted to do a post while doing it but my finger tips were so sore that I've forgot all about taking photos during the process. Edit: Here is the video I've used to take them out. He paints them which I'm not a fan. I was gonna buy from the dealer but I got lucky. Last edited by cna90; 02-08-2022 at 04:22 PM.. |
