Center Cap for Style 108s

hey guys, what is the correct size center cap for the Style 108 rims on my 3.0si? I have seen 68mm and 70mm offered for sale.

Thanks!

are you buying aftermarket caps? the oem ones aren't terribly expensive...

BMW has used the same size center cap in their wheels since 1992ish (with exception to the onces that cover the lugs of course). there are two different styles; the first of which had a gray plastic lip around the outside of the roundel, and the second has a roundel that goes all the way to the edge. both styles have the exact same overall diameter though.

just measuring mine... 70mm.

Thanks!! I think I will call the dealer and get a set from them as you say. The roundel that goes all the way to the edge, I presume that is the current style? The folks at my local dealer tell me that the center cap found on the current E89 Z4 will fit the Style 108 rims on my car.

Cheers!

yeah... the gray lip style is long gone.

e89 caps will fit yours beautifully!

They have a set in stock - I'll pick them up in the next day or so and let you know what I think of them!

Cheers!
