If you throw these caps away and you have splined bmw locking wheel bolts, you will encounter much swearing from anyone who has to undo said bolt!
Because the splines are often quite fine, if they get rusty (which they always do without the caps), the adapter/key wont go in and when hammered in, wont come out!
I always recommend new ones when i see them missing
Plus they look neater!

Sorry, but ask any bm mechanic - pet hate!

Andy- rear prop UJ?
