How to Add M Mirrors to Your BMW G05 X5 – Full Retrofit Kit
Keith Treder May 21, 2025
Straight from the factory, the G05 X5 comes well-equipped with aggressive M-inspired styling thanks to packages like the M Sport trim and gloss black exterior accents. However, BMW left out one defining element found on true M models: the signature M mirror caps, which come standard on the X3M, X4M, X5M, and X6M. IND offers a complete M mirror retrofit solution that fills that gap with OEM-level precision. The kit includes brand-new factory BMW mirror cores—not replicas—and comes with the option to have the caps professionally pre-painted in the BMW color of your choice. Whether you go with a gloss black finish for a factory-aggressive look or opt for AutoTecknic’s carbon fiber mirror caps, this upgrade gives your X5 a visual edge while maintaining 100% fitment and functionality.
The retrofit is a direct replacement—no trimming, adhesive, or modification required. Simply remove the original mirror caps and install the new M-style version. For those looking to elevate the functionality of their mirrors as well, we also offer European-spec aspherical mirror glass, sourced directly from BMW Germany. This upgrade enhances visibility and is not available through BMW North America. Each mirror cap is painted in-house using factory BMW paint codes, then baked, hand-sanded, and polished to perfection before shipping—delivering the quality and finish IND is known for.

- Genuine BMW components for OEM fitment and quality
- Optional AutoTecknic Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps for a bold, modern look
