"is" mirror caps
Mirror caps in alluminum oxide.
They are just painted for the is or is is actual metal? What is the colour code for this paint? I have a 35i and I like the looks of the 35is mirrors. |

Well the mirror color is the most salient aspect that distinguishes it from the other Z's. If you paint your mirrors the same color it appears that you are attempting to pass it off as such. Thus the ever so popular "M" badge option that ppl feel compelled to place on anything with 4 wheels.
But to each his/her own, just be aware of how it will be perceived by the enthusiast community. |

The caps are painted plastic. I doubt you will find a paint code for them. It is a flat silver metalic.

My z4 is space grey and painting the mirrors seems (to my aesthetics) a really good match for sportier looks.
Im also looking at the silver top ![]() I dont compare painting the mirrors to adding an m badge. |

Speaking of the M badge, I got one on every wheel of my winter rims, they came with the fantastic price $575- Canadian for 4 and I just could not resist

As someone else guessed, my 35is is Atacama Yellow. For whatever reason, BMW paints the mirrors yellow whether it's an "is" model or not. I don't think it would look particularly good with silver, but we may never know.
