Thanks! Marc |

Of the three posted I’ve heard mostly good things from golks who have ordered from Bimmerplug.
I ordered mine for the g05 from Autotecknic they dont seem to have just a gloss black for the g30 though. Just ordered some CF from RW Carbon as well - doesnt help you in this battle though. |

A word of warning if you decide to go with the M-style mirror caps, the extra M detail causes a lot of wind noise at hwy speeds. For a car that cruises so well and is very well insulated, it is a bit jarring if you're picky about your NVH levels. I went with the Auto Technic covers in gloss black, and although they were a quality part and looked and fit well, the wind noise was a disappointment. If you listen to any music when driving it will mask the noise. I've been told even the OEM M5's have the same issue. I might just get someone to paint my stock covers gloss black and switch back in the future.

TBH, I find that the normal stock caps look much nicer. Car appears wider, and the look is just more cohesive with the bodylines. Many of the M or M-look accessories for the G30 are kind of tacky, IMO. Perhaps I am getting old. |
