How to Change Mirror Caps on BMW M140i F20/F21 (All F Series) *SAFELY*

LINK TO TRIM REMOVAL TOOL: www.amazon.co....
Here is how to safely change your mirror caps for all F series BMW’s although this will work the same for E/G series and many other cars.
After recieving some requests and complaints from people breaking expensive dimming mirror glass we decided to show you the best alternative way to change the mirror caps without having to pop out your glass.
Top tip - do not replace trim tools with any other materials (we’ve seen screwdrivers, ouch) we picked ours up on amazon for £8.99.

Thankyou sir for keeping it real and on point. Too many clowns out there wasting 3 or 4 minutes talking about their boring lifes, unboxing, self stroking bullshit and then eventually get to the task at hand. You got it done immediately !!! big ups

[@NNAutomotive]

Thanks for your comment, I’m glad you agree. We make £0 from KZbin. It’s just 5 minutes of our time to quickly share a solution to common problems or a review on a product we like. Glad someone sees it for what it is!

[@LamannaGarage]

Thanks. I hate to point it out though - there is a broken clip on the carbon one you just took off but all good.

[@NickB_Yorkshire]

Great video. Just bought a 2022 M135i F40 today and it’s got the exact same carbon caps on but the originals are in the boot. At least I now know what to do should I choose to change them back. Thanks 👍🏼😊

[@ijansz]

Wasn’t looking forward to removing the mirrors, thank god I could this video ! Caps were off within mins. You sir have been granted legend status

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Great quick vid keeping it simple. That is exactly how I changed mine without breaking any clips!

[@NNAutomotive]

For some reason a lot of people tend to go from the glass side, resulting in cracked glass, auto-dimming glass replacement from BMW runs in to the 100s so the £8.99 on trim tools is a great investment!

[@joashjames3636]

Works perfect. This is a much safer approach as opposed to removing the glass.

[@raulmartinez3484]

This is the best way to remove the mirror caps on a BMW F30! I tried out your method this morning and I got them out with right away without breaking any tabs!

[@nickfernandez2096]

Used this method on my bmw f20 and it was incredibly easy, cheers 👍😊

[@jacqueganet4568]

Thank you very much for this video. Saved me a lot of mucking around and probably breaking the mirror. Legend!

[@NNAutomotive]

Thanks pal! Glad we could help

[@Classicpunch94]

Thanks for the video! Managed to do it with limited clips breaking on my x3. I guess there's always the risk with bits of plastic breaking on a 10 year old car.

[@NNAutomotive]

Enjoy in good health!

[@samuelellis859]

Just used your method and got both caps off in minutes without breaking any clips 👍 Cheers mate

[@NNAutomotive]

nice to have some good feedback on this one. Enjoy your caps Sam :)

[@EmpraMcdade]

Ordered some m3 mirror caps and they'll be here tomorrow or Saturday, im definitely gonna do this method.

[@sathiya97]

This worked great for me on my car today, glad I came across this vid all the other ones involved taking the mirror off which I was hesitant to do, thanks

After watching this video, did my own. Well presented!

[@NNAutomotive]

Thanks mark , glad we could help

[@JohnHardingBuxton]

Very helpful - just done mine. Informative and to the point.

[@charalamboskoutsides2344]

works perfectly for me. Do it slowly and will be done without removing mirror

[@NNAutomotive]

I’m glad we could help. Thanks for your time I’m leaving the feedback.

[@CalgonDunbar]

When you’ve already cracked the glass and now watching this 🤣

[@fabrioliden1287]

I will try on my bmw F21 M140 this week!

[@NNAutomotive]

Fabri Oliden how did you get on?

[@Bellakawai]

Worked perfectly!!! Thank you sm

[@NNAutomotive]

You’re most welcome!

[@SG-yf6dk]

Perfect video thanks...does what it says on the tin... have ordered carbon covers so will refer to this soon 👍

[@Mikeytikey123]

I unfortunately broke the mirror while attempting the mirror method. As this video was next, I was one video away from a successful change. Mirror caps worked perfectly in the end. Just a big L for my mirror 😢

[@BigJayKay]

Yes it works

[@NNAutomotive]

Glad we could help, how about a subscribe?

[@kagisomore6358]

dope video.. straight to the point, thanks

It works also for the f40?

[@CorndogChampion]

This is the way.

[@dickesV]

perfect and easy

[@excal29292]

That clip looks broken too me @1:13 lol

[@NNAutomotive]

Decent comment

[@jerem_adv]

No clips broken... Yup actually one is 🙄 bottom right, the left one of both is not here anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@NNAutomotive]

For purposes of the video we were changing clips on old mirror caps, mirror caps in which had previously been broken by using different techniques!

[@sammyg805]

Cheers mate

[@jaredsmalley2367]

I wish I saw this before I broke my mirror

[@NNAutomotive]

Sorry to hear it bro!

[@OblivionsEdge]

Just FYI your M140i is an f20 not f21 as its 5 door not 3

[@chosenn657]

I have wind deflectors on my f20 , would this intervene with the style ?

[@NNAutomotive]

I think it’s a matter of choice. I’ve seen them with wind deflectors and they look pretty cool in our opinion. If it’s the look you want for your car then go for it. It’s unique to you

[@nedde4262]

is there any diffrence between the mirror caps on m135 and m140?

[@NNAutomotive]

There isn’t in terms of the fit or clips

[@justincase00004]

Where did you get the carbon covers from?

[@NNAutomotive]

Woopie these are from UKCarbon can be found on eBay

[@hailyphan7754]

Change this mirror cap can reduce wind noise? Is that true

[@NNAutomotive]

Nothing noticeable from us

[@hailyphan7754]

The grey caps look much better than carbon.

[@shredz0000]

In which universe? Boomer universe?

[@NNAutomotive]

I actually agree. But overall the gloss black have to work the best no?

[@Ewecnt]

Gloss black work best yes. 100%

“No clips broken” but there was…

[@NNAutomotive]

Cheers Mitch

[@cal79]

You bust the clip on the right

[@HCShuffle]

@1:13 you broke the clips.

[@chanaldochan8797]

You broke a clip! This is exactly how you damage the clips!!

[@NNAutomotive]

I've changed upwards of 25 sets of thee mirrors. Do you have another proposed method? And the clips were not broken from removing the mirrors in the video. The mirrors were a customer's old caps and already broken and used for the purpose of the video. Following this method should not break any clips

[@Pdxpp10p]

By clips you mean the ones on the mirror cap right

[@MatthewEvans937]

The clip on the right is broken. Look close at 1:11 - 1:13...

[@NNAutomotive]

😘

[@coma2times]

Thanks ! I’ve never done any modification to my car, it took me 5min to change both mirror caps with 0 broken clips 💯🫡

[@BruceWayne-dl5pj]

So many dudes like that way of disassembly the cap but didn't see anybody of those that in this vid clips have been broken by this methode?! 🤔😖 Sorry, can't understand! 👎

[@NNAutomotive]

Boo for Bruce

The one in the middle definitely broke 01:12
