Not sure of the exact sizing on existing wheel center caps for my 4.4i Sport (19" OEM rims) - existing ones getting bit tatty and looking to replace them as i do those finishing clean ups for sale of the 4.4i

Be carefull as some ebay ones don't fit like i found out.In the end i got mine from a dealer as there was'nt much difference in price ...if any at all.
Here's a link to the referance number.....http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=36&fg=15

and here's where i got mine as you can order online...http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/index ... virtuemart

or try cotswolds that were on the old forum as they are great to deal with...(don't know if there is a link for them on here yet.)

The dealer price is each though, whilst the link is for 4 ...

any ideas if it's a wheel off job to fit these ? or can they just pop out and if so best way to do so ?

May try the ebay ones first given their cost and if they are no good then go oem route...

2/3 ways off doing this, the 1st is a PITA and does require removing the wheel to 'punch' the old centre cap out. The 2nd way is to drill a hole through the old centre cap, asuming you are goint to chuck them, screw a screw in to the hole and use a claw hammer to leaver out the cap clearly using a piece of wood to protect the wheel as you pull back on the hammer. You could also punch a screw driver tip into the hole and lever out aswell.

Or suck them out using one of those things you stick on bathroom mirrors.

oops didn't see that.......if you check out the sellers negative feedback mind you will see that more than one customer has said that they are poor quality and dont fit which would explain the price
Exactly the same as the ones i purchased they are a tad too small and drop out.one customer on there even said that when he opened the packaging they fell apart

If you sort by negative feedback, this is the standard response:

"sold over 100,u'r 1st said that,why not send back 4 refund,or u did on purpose!!"

Lots of firsts then ...
