Took some tracking down, wanted a set same as i have now with plastic cover like the body badges, rather than the cheap tin plate ones.

The 'M' logo makes them look aftermarket, though IMO. I bought some off the 'bay for around the same money and look OE (and fit really well).
I just bought a new rear boot roundel for my E92, no-one does the right size and profile in a Chinese copy. £42.00 from BMW. :o Not impressed for a bit of plastic.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I just ordered a set of Black & White caps.
I had a spare original Blue & White BMW one available and placed it onto the new wheels but it did not look great because of the outwards curve.

The flat ATS caps in my other post looked better & blended in better.
So i took a chance on the Black & White BMW logo badges to try out. Obviously not original. €20 for the set.

Will see tomorrow what they look like.

@ Pondrew: On another note, i also just collected an oil filler cap for the E90 from the BMW dealer.
€36 for that bit of plastic.

Could never find any plastic covered without the M logo in recent years..
