I prefer it in the mirror, which also makes mods like this much easier. |

You don't need to remove and re-install the black bases. Once you have removed the chrome pieces, you can install the black piece to the base already on the car. You can then put the removed chrome piece on to the base that you never installed. That way you still have the compete piece together for safe keeping. Saves a step and less chance of damage to the fender.

I did this yesterday, I didn't separate the chrome from the black base. I used the tool at the rear tab first, pressing the tab with the tool. Then worked forward.
This DIY was key for me doing this, because I had an e90 before, and I never bothered because it was such a pita. This was 15 minutes! |

I installed mine the other night.
I first used a small flathead screwdriver (i.e. jewelers) to lift up the back edge of the chrome piece. Once I had a big enough gap I inserted a plastic pry tool and then popped it it out of the first clip. Then I worked my way towards the front of the car with the pry tool. Put another piece of masking tape over the chrome piece so you don't mar the chrome/plastic piece when using the flathead screwdriver.

Hi!!!! I need advice! I ordered a pair of these in carbon fiber...but they don't have the m3 emblem! All of the carbon fiber replacements online have a slot where the gloss black sticker/ emblem that would say m3 or m4 should go....where do I acquire a pair of these stickers?!?!
I started to peel the sticker off but quickly realized they will not be able to transferred because they will lose their sticking power. Or if I can't find the stickers then I will return them to the company but who manufactures sets that actually have the m3 emblem??!?!!? What should I do? Thanks!

Anyone having issues removing the black plastic base that holds the chrome side markers? Mine seemed like they didn't want to come off
