No centre caps!! :cry:

16" M3 rims but no fecking caps!! Bought them from ebay.de, and they were pictured without caps, but having translated the advert there is nothing to say they are missing. I thought he had removed the cap so the writing inside would be visible.

Rubbish man. :cry:

What do the caps look like? There are loads on ebay, but I'm not sure which ones I need. Anyone got a piccie of one? Or better still, has anyone got a spare four that I can have? Yeah, right!!

The caps are the same as 15" e30 BBS and NOTHING else. I think they are about Ԛ£30 each, you can get them cheaper at brent cross ........

Hmm... so, if a person were to have some 15" BBS caps (not that I have) they could sell them at a premium, claiming they were the 'extra rare' 16" E30 M3 caps...

Very interesting... I bet someone you know has already tried this though, right? :wink:

Ԛ£30 + VAT each new from the dealers, so that's Ԛ£141, plus badges...

Ԛ£50 ain't that bad.

Yeah, I suppose.

It would seem most second hand caps need new badges. How big are the badges? 60mm?

You can get 4 centre badges from BMW for about ten quid for the BBS centre caps.
