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.

I'm with you, the one Ive seen is blue so the silve mirrors caps look a bit odd to me..

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.

Look good on my white IS
 
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.

I like em!

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 own :-?
