Mahle BBS Centre Caps (black plastic type)

Post by 189kmonster »

Hi guys, I have a random question here. I bought a set of 8 black plastic centre caps from BMW for 2 sets of 7x14 Mahle BBS cross spoke alloys (5 stud E12 M535i type) that I've had refurbished for mine and my dad's E3 3.0 SIs. I though that the centre caps were all the same size for all Mahle BBS wheels, so imagine my irritation to find the ones I bought are too small for the centre hole!

The part number is: 36132200628 seen here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... fg=15&hl=9

I can't find a part number for the larger type centre caps that I need - can anybody help me? Oh and if anybody wants the smaller E21 4 stud type I have 8 brand new still in the packaging!

Many thanks in advance.

Awesome, thanks! I'd never have thought of checking an M1 part!

Fantastic information, thank you. Am I right in thinking that the centre badge that I now need is the one ending in 972?

Thank you again!

So I've checked with my local BMW dealer, and both the caps and the badges are NLA :(

Perfect, thanks Jeroen. Let me know how you get on - I'm not really in a rush but if you find the 4th one and decide to sell, I'll certainly take them off you. Thank you :cheers

Ok guys, so a little bit of good news on this one. My friendly local BMW dealer parts guy phoned to say that the larger caps aren't NLA, they're just on back order with a likely delivery date of May! So I've ordered some! Hopefully the centre badges I have will fit....
