Most G32 owners start with the mirrors: new caps and sequential LED indicators, followed by small exterior trim and covers for the parts of the cabin that wear. At the time of writing, grille accent strips start from around €15, mirror indicators from around €38, mirror caps from around €52 and armrest covers from around €37.
First, check what you have
The G32 is the 6 Series Gran Turismo, built from 2017 to 2023. It is a five door hatchback that shares much of its front end, mirrors and interior with the G30 5 Series, which is why many listings below name the G30 first. If you are not sure of your chassis code, see how to find your BMW chassis code.
The facelift (LCI) arrived in 2020 with a reworked front end and lights. For the parts on this page it matters less than usual, since mirrors, door handles and most cabin trim carry over, but always check the year range in the listing. More in LCI vs pre-LCI explained.
The question that matters most on this car is which side the steering wheel is on. Several mirror and door handle parts are listed for left hand drive cars only. If you drive a right hand drive G32, read the listing carefully and ask us before ordering if it does not mention your car.
We should be plain about the range: we do not currently stock front lips, diffusers, spoilers, fog lights, tail lights or CarPlay hardware for the G32. What we do have is mirror parts, exterior trim and interior covers, all in the 6 Series GT G32 collection. Many of these parts are shared across several G-series models, so check the fitment table on the product page rather than assuming a part fits every G32.
Mirror caps and indicators
Mirror caps are the usual first change because they need no paint and the job is short. The replacement mirror caps for G20, G30 and G32 swap the painted caps for a different finish. The phirikes mirror caps are a left hand drive alternative, and the pair of LHD mirror caps is another option at a similar price. Compare the finish photos and pick the one you like; the fitting is much the same.
To fit, the mirror glass comes out first. It is held on clips, so warm it slightly, lever from the bottom edge with a plastic tool and unplug the heater wires. The cap then unclips from the housing. If a lower trim or the mirror glass surround is already cracked, the wing mirror replacement parts cover the frame and lower trim pieces.
With the glass out, it makes sense to fit the indicators at the same time. The sequential LED mirror indicators name the G32 directly, and the left hand drive sequential indicators are the cheaper option. Both replace the original strip with one that sweeps outwards. Sequential indicators are not accepted everywhere, so check local rules.
Grille and door handles
The kidney grille accent strips clip onto the slats of the existing grille to add a stripe of colour. They are listed for the G32 by name and are the cheapest exterior change we offer for this car. Clean the slats first so the clips sit square.
For the door handles, the set of four door handle covers goes over the original handles, and the carbon fibre door handle covers are the dearer version. If the small cap over the driver's door lock has gone missing or faded, the front left door handle cap replaces just that piece. Covers bond on with tape, so fit them on a warm dry day and test the position before peeling the backing.
Interior wear and comfort
The G32 cabin is hard wearing, but the armrest and the console around the gear selector pick up marks with age.
- The centre armrest cover pads sit over the original armrest to hide scuffs or protect a good one.
- The suede gear selector panel cover covers a scratched console panel. It is made for the G30 and G32 layout.
- The suede steering wheel trim strips are for M Sport steering wheels, so check your wheel first.
- The start-stop memory plug keeps auto start-stop in the setting you last chose, so you do not have to switch it off at every start.
Most of these bond on with adhesive backing, so clean the surface with a grease free cleaner and press firmly. Check the product page for where the start-stop plug connects on your car. Some owners change the start-stop default with a coding app instead, which our OBD2 scanner guide explains.

Where to start
For a first-time owner on a budget:
- Fit the grille accent strips, the cheapest visible change.
- Cover a worn armrest or console panel.
- Take the mirror glass out once and fit caps and indicators together.
- Add door handle covers to match the mirrors.
- Sort the start-stop habit with the plug or with coding.
These parts ship from Asia, so allow longer than for EU stock. See our fit guarantee before ordering. Because the G32 shares so much with the 5 Series, our G30 and G31 buying guide is worth a look too.
FAQ
Do G30 5 Series parts fit the G32 6 Series GT?
Many do: mirrors, door handles and much of the cabin are shared, which is why listings often name the G30. The body, bumpers and tailgate are different, so G30 lips, diffusers and spoilers do not fit. Check the fitment table on the product page.
Will these mirror caps fit a right hand drive G32?
Several listings are marked left hand drive only. If yours is right hand drive, check the listing and ask us before ordering.
What should I check before ordering sequential mirror indicators?
Check the notes on the product page for your model year before ordering. If anything is unclear, ask us with your build year and chassis code, and check local rules on sequential indicators.
Can I fit mirror caps myself?
Yes, with a plastic trim tool and some patience. The hard part is removing the mirror glass without cracking it, so warm it first and work from the bottom edge.
