My caps are missing, how can I tell which ones fit a 15" wheel when surfing Ebay. And do BMW OEM & BBS caps fit in the same way?

They usually state if they are for 15 inch wheels. You can also tell by the codes on the cap.
Make sure they are the twist lock type too or you will get the push on ones which are for 5 series bm's.
Got a couple myself a few months ago. Quite pricey though - payed around £23 just for one, but it was in new conditon.

15" caps have substantial flat rim / flange to them - over an inch, whereas 14" are much less.
