Wing mirror cover removal instructions

Hi, does anyone have instructions on how to remove the wing mirror covers as I want to replace them with carbon fibre ones.

Car is F11 M Sport with surround view (cameras under the mirrors) and folding mirrors

Many thanks

The carbon fiber mirror caps goes over the original. You don't replace it. It has 3m stickers on the inside.

^^ not the oem ones i believe.

The OEM Bmw Performance CF caps are replacements if i'm not mistaken.

Search the 3 series forum. From what I remember reading they just pull out without the need to remove the mirror or glass.

Hi, thanks so far, but I believe that the genuine covers are a replacement for the existing cover. They also need the glass removing hence the request for instructions please if anyone has done this.
