Silver mirror caps
Evening everyone
I'm still looking for a 35i or Is and I've come across a candidate. I'm being told the the 35Is models come with silver mirror caps. Is this true?

Yep, the 35iS has silver wing mirror backs as standard. On saying that though, I think Valencia Orange ones came with body coloured or gloss black, no silver option.

I'm not sure if i like the silver mirror caps - I did think of having them sprayed the body colour to even carbon wrapped.
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

I believe they are "Aluminum" not silver. In addition to the mirrors, the front grill is also Aluminum, along with the Colour Coded rear Msport bumper.RayM wrote:Evening everyone

I think they look decent on some colours and strange on others. As above, red - yes. My white one - yes. Black - maybe. Grey, blue, orange - no.
It's to keep in line with BMW's other "not quite M car cars". The M135i, M235i, XwhateverMwhateverI have them too.
I think it's a nice enough way of differentiating between the iS and i models.

Me too, mine's Deep Sea Blue and I quite like the contrast of the dark paintwork with the Silver grille, alloys and mirrors. Sets it off nicely I think but each to their ownWrs wrote:I like em!
