OEM BMW M Performance Fibra de carbono Carcasas de los retrovisores laterales

Elaborately handcrafted from carbon: the striking M Performance exterior mirror caps underline the high-tech character of the vehicle. Their dynamic design ensures a particularly high-quality look and sets individual sporty accents.

The advantages of the M Performance exterior mirror cap carbon (right) at a glance:

• Elaborately handcrafted.
• Several layers of lacquer and high-gloss polish for an optimal depth effect.
• Perfectly matched to the design and geometry of the vehicle.
• Quality checked by lightfastness tests.

Material:

• The exterior mirror cap is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP, carbon) and is sealed with clear varnish.

The material is UV, temperature and water resistant.
Material information: The carbon frames are made by hand. The cutting and draping of the fabric layers, the hardening process of the plastic matrix and the milling of the raw parts take several hours. The subsequent painting represents a particular challenge. In order to reinforce the unmistakable depth effect of the carbon fabric, the components are painted several times. Every single layer of lacquer has to be dried and then sanded. After the last layer of lacquer has been applied, the carbon part is polished to a high gloss (with the exception of the open-pored carbon versions). The carbon components are qualified according to the current BMW standard. This is the only way to ensure that the high requirements, e.g. with regard to aging and temperature resistance, are met without cracking or paint peeling off the substrate and yellowing of the matrix is ​​avoided. This high degree of manual work and qualification effort is responsible for the price.

Technical information:

• The mirror cap is already listed in the EC operating license, so no ABE (general operating license) is required.
