persian54 · 07-07-2009, 11:07 PM

I searched on ebay "bmw center caps" but nothing for a e92/93....

anyone know where i can get them?

or would ones from older models fit?

I'm looking for them to fit 18in M6 reps

thanks

Get them from the dealer. They're about $4 each. BMW hasn't changed these in 10+ years. Ask for the M3 center cap - it's almost identical, but the decal sits more flush with the plastic carrier.

I'd prefer the 19s but I don't want to spend $1000 on new tires

get the 18in I use my current set of tires.
Plus, I got the warranty so in about 6k miles a nail will accidently go into my tire, another 1k later, the other one... and so on :P

my salesman told me to just put a nail in it and come in before they're too worn in from wear and tear

i spent 750 or something for that warranty and intend to use it lol

Yea I just got mines from the dealer and was surprised that they were only 5 bucks each.

On the bright side, BMW redesigned the wheel caps. Instead of the cheap plastic the use on the outside, it is now replaced with a thin chrome trim.

Looks a lot better IMO.
