BMW M2 F87 Prepreg - Forged Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps

Designed for BMW M2 F87 owners who want a modern, aggressive side profile, these Forged Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps (left + right set) add a contemporary, exclusive look to your vehicle. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this BMW M2 F87 forged carbon mirror cap set snaps directly onto the OEM mirror housing — no cutting, no drilling, no modification required.

If you're building a serious BMW M2 F87 tuning project and want a look that goes beyond the typical 2x2 twill carbon weave, Forged carbon (chopped strand composite) is for you. Unlike woven carbon, randomly oriented short carbon fiber strands are cured under high pressure to produce a marbled, fractal-like surface pattern that is unique to each part. Engineered to complement the sporty character of the N55-powered M2 (370 hp) and the S55-powered M2 Competition / CS (410-444 hp).

Key Features

• Forged Carbon (Chopped Strand) Technology: Short carbon fiber strands compressed under high pressure with resin create a unique marbled pattern on every cap.
• Left + Right Set: Driver and passenger side included; no need to purchase separately.
• OEM Mirror Motor Compatible: Power folding, signal LED, and heating functions are unaffected.
• High Strength: Very high strength for its weight, with more isotropic load distribution and improved resistance to corner cracking.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than the factory plastic mirror cap.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play clip system replaces the factory caps.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, and road grime.

Forged Carbon vs. 2x2 Twill Carbon — What's the Difference?

Traditional 2x2 twill carbon is made from long woven carbon yarns and produces the typical checkerboard pattern. Forged carbon (chopped strand composite):

• Short carbon strands oriented randomly → unique, marbled pattern on every part
• Compression-molded under high heat and pressure → loads distribute isotropically, better resistance to cracking on complex shapes
• Modern carbon aesthetic used by premium manufacturers like Lamborghini and Pagani
• UV-protective resin keeps the finish from fading for years

Installation Notes

Installing the BMW M2 F87 mirror caps is a direct replacement of the factory caps. Steps:

1. Fold the mirror outward fully using the power-folding switch.
2. Use a plastic pry tool to carefully detach the OEM cap from the lower clip.
3. Release the cap from bottom first, then top, to avoid breaking clips.
4. Align the new forged carbon cap with the clip points and press into place.
5. Verify all clips are seated; test mirror functions.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer nozzle at least 30 cm from surface.

FAQ

Does this set include both left and right caps?
Yes. The set contains 2 caps — driver and passenger side.

Does this fit the BMW M2 G87 (2023+)?
No. F87 and G87 use different mirror housing geometry. A separate set is available for G87.

Compatible with both M2 base (N55) and M2 Competition (S55)?
Yes. Mirror housing geometry is consistent across all F87 trims: 2016-2018 Coupé (N55), 2018-2021 Competition (S55), and M2 CS (S55).

Will it affect power folding or signal lights?
No. Only the outer cap is replaced; motors, wiring, and LEDs are not touched.

Is the forged carbon pattern identical on every cap?
No. Forged carbon by nature produces a unique pattern on every part — this is a feature, not a defect.

Warranty?
BYC Performance offers a 12-month manufacturer warranty on this product.
