Black mirror caps

Do you guys think the Arctic white exterior would look better with matching colour side mirrors or the high gloss black mirrors??

I would prefer matching colors on mirrors as well. Based on the color you mentioned, i am guessing you are coming from Mercedes. :-)

I guess you making the same step as me? Going from Gti to F30? I ordered arctic white with black mirror caps, I think it gives the car a more agressive look. The matching colour looks a bit more luxurious in my opinion. May not be your style

No coming from GTI.
I'm thinking of black caps since it differentiates sportlines from others. Plus it give it a bit more sporty look in my opinion.

I was originally inclined against the black mirror caps but now I think that they are ok. My white 328i sport is arriving in Baltimore today on the Tysla.

I was pissed that I could not get white caps on my AW 335i. Now that I've had it for 5 days now, I really like the black. They are very high gloss and look sporty plus they blend nice with tint.
