Was thinking about getting some BMW centre caps for the wheels and was
wondering if these are all standard size? Or dependant on wheel
dimensions? Anyone?
[EDIT] And anyone know where I could lay my hands on these? Edited by Cibie |

The dealer is the best bet if you are using oem alloys or in your case Schnitzer the bmw oem ones will also fit Topazman |

I bought a set of M3 replica alloys for an E46 coupe (the 20 spoke ones) There was about a 2mm difference between the size of the origional and replica discs. One of the replica clips behind the disc broke when being power washed. I stuck the disc to the alloy with a good metal/plastic glue and it was still stuck there six months later when i sold it. It's not an ideal solution but works if you can't source the right size discs. |

I think they change from replica to replica but measure the diameter and hunt around. Try ebay and www.autotintdesign.com or bmtown.co.uk |

Sure is. It succumbed to the Rear Subframe damage which is common on e46 coupes (323,325,328) of 99/00. Basically the subframe is cracked just above the diff where the axle is mounted.Ouch!!! |

Sorry to hear that Richie, sounds expensive. Where are you getting it done? Dealer or mechanic? What does it involve, a load of welding or worse than that? Also means that I'm gonna have to check mine, it being of the same vintage. It's going back into M&G on monday to try to get the rear parcel shelf sorted, which they tried to do already. I think I'll be asking them to have a look. You have me worried... |

It's being taken care of in Conlons in Kildare.They have to strip the back of the car and cut out floor and sort a new one.40hrs of labour involved.
