740i Upgrade

Getting ready to upgrade wheels on 2012 Mineral White 740i adding 303M 20" wheels and also considering upgrade to carbon fiber mirrors. Thoughts? Too much of a conflict with Mineral White?

Mineral White is such a lush and luxurious color, maybe a powder coated white rim (awful to clean) or a dark powder coated rim.... If nothing else on the car is carbon fibre, that might look weird.... But if thats what you desire, than by all means, let's see what it looks like!

Agree with other 7ers. CF doesn't look right on a 7, especially a mineral white.

Ok, in agreement with all. Wheels only, no carbon fiber mirror covers.

I have gunmetal grey 303s on alpine white. Was thinking of the CF mirrors but also wanted to get a diffuser in Cf but just couldn't find one..
