Centre caps?

Saw a post where someone was suggesting that the centre caps on the X6 may be different to others.
I found these on ebay which are listed as fitting an X6, but the descriptions are never that accurate - does anyone know if the 68mm would fit all wheels?

Re: X6 bumper 'diffusers'.

Previously ‘blacked out’ the chrome trims on my sons mini. Looked at various options and used Plastidip in the end. Really simple to use and gave a good consistent finish by building up a few thin coats. One headlight bezel got a few large chips in it after a few months, but best thing about the stu ...

Saying hello - newbie owner

Been trying to find a decent owners forum for the X6. It doesn’t seem to get much love on Pistonheads and most forums seem fairly quiet before I found a link to here. Just purchased a 2014 40d from the original owner with 60k and full BMW SH. Got it for what I think was a good price as it does need 2 ...
