Either in Mondello or on the way home from it i lost one of my centre caps off my E30.

Does anyone have any spare ones or know of any in scrap yards? They are the ones that came on some of the E34 5 series and some higher spec E30's.

Really want to get this sorted soon as it looks awfull missing one.

 You could try Frank Wise in Clogheen Co. Tip ( not far from Mitchelstown) 087 7717659 . I think a friend got some for his E34 from the main dealer, don't think they were expensive. "Big Sean" might also have them - don't have real name or number  he's near Killumney , send PM if you need directions.

I may have one, can you send me a part no of sorts, so I can be sure.
You can have it for postage costs?

Thanks lads....

text on the inside of the cap (on the reverse of the bmw emblem) is 

                 09 24 030

                36 11 2 225 190

                PA6-M25-GF15

There is a little more text on the larger black plastic disk on the back too

               09.23.117

Hope you have the same ones AG.... How many of them do you think you might have? 2 would be brilliant, just incase i lose another one.

@ Beemerboy, will try "big sean", know of him alright, not holding my breath though..

Cheers lads.

The plastic lock wears and breaks over time on the BBS centre caps, so it might be worth your while getting a new one from the dealers. They cost about €50 each and include the roundel badge.

Dont really have that money at the moment to spend on a centre cap as i am still in college... So a second hand one will have to do till the summer.

Thanks anyway though kev. Might replace all 4 during the summer with new ones and just put the others aside.

there are different center caps so make sure you get the correct one.
also a new one may stand out so be aware especially if you replace all 4.
I believe some people use silicone sealant or something to hold it in place on the assumption that the locking mechanism fails.

GS STANLEY....i have four centre caps off 15" bbs from a e34 5series.

i bought them for a set of 15" e30 bbs and they dont fit.

are you looking for them for a e34 or a e30.if its for a e34 you are more then welcome to have one.

where abouts are you from i can maybe meet with you or if you cover postage costs then i will post it.

you can call me on 086-8886970 (john)

Hey john,

They are for an E30 so i'd say they are prob the wrong ones so... some of the e34's had these ones, but not all.

I have the coding from the back of one that i need above in a previous reply, is it the same as that?

Thanks a lot anyway bud.
