Seasonal Greetings all,

Have lost all four black plastic locking wheel nut caps and looking for replacements to keep the salt etc out of them
Local BMW parts dept state that there are none available for the E86, different size bolt fitting. They provided an E46 and E89 type but neither fitted securely.
Can anyone recommend a supplier?

Thanks

Alistair
 
Can't advise on a supplier, but is that non available off the shelf from the dealer, from the UK warehouse, from Germany or even on a backorder?

It'll be a shame if bits like this start dropping of spares lists.

EDIT
Just done a quick parts search and see these based upon a part number off realoem of 36131180374:

Thanks cj10jeeper.

They stated that the specific item was not listed on their (BMW network) system.
The problem is that the nut insert has a 'petal' type lug pattern, believe it is part number 36136786419, the caps listed in the links for part number 36131180374 have a circular pattern and didn't fit.
It may be easier to buy a new set of nuts with corresponding caps!

OK - just lifted the part number from real oem and chased it down on ebay so looked OK to me.

36136786419 is the part number for the 'set of wheel locks'

OEM locks on E85/6 did not come with covers, are you sure you don't have after market locks?

Mine has them and I've picked up locking covers from BMW over the counter
 
Locks appear to be part number 36136786419, may well have had after market caps??
So frustrating for a product that costs pennies...

That's what I posted above...the part you quoted for was the bolts not the caps

Can't see that there would even be aftermarket caps for something that cost so little.

Are you sure you have oem locking bolts as it makes no sense that a part designed to fit a whole range of BMW's doesn't fit yours.
 
How do these even fit on locking wheel bolts? I have oem bolts and can't seem to get them on.

Are they definitely for locking wheel bolts? Or just covers for the normal bolts?
 
Sorry guys I'm working out in Ireland so can't pop out to the Zed and pull one out to show you the bolt or cap.
