E53 2004 19 inch wheel centre caps

Post by Smeeagain » Tue May 22, 2012 7:32 pm

Hi

can someone verify that these would indeed fit E53 19 inch wheels?

Yep 68mm but BMW now do newer one's with a chrome surround rather than the grey for not much more (I think). Sorry I don't have part numbers but a quick call to the parts department should sort that!

These are poor quality copies of the old style BMW ones but the price is for a set of 4. You'll struggle to get an OEM set of the up to date BMW one for less than 30 odd quid. They used to be available for about £14 a set but BMW obviously put a stop to the dealers who were selling them at that price.

Alloywheelsdirect are doing the current ones at £37 a set plus delivery (£44.93 inc VAT).....don't know how that compares to a Dealer. Look under essential accessories.

I've just ordered a set of these. I'll let you know what they're like but not expecting too much for £10.99.

They will of course be better than the crappy things that are on the car at the moment.

Apologies for the delay. That's just a reflection of something as none of them are scratched.

Are they stuck on pieces? Noticed in this heat Jig's ones are lifting on the edges. Granted he's not got the same ones as you, they look similar.

Received and fitted. They fit the same as the originals so just push in.

Not sure if the badges are stuck on and certainly too early to tell if they will lift with heat.

They look great and so much better than the ones that were on there.
