On the left is the eBay/Amazon sourced 68mm "replica" hubcap (still wrapped in protective plastic), and on the right is the OE BMW 56mm clearly marked on the box as for wheels with the 112mm bolt circle. Note the proportions of the m-color semi-circles versus the size of the BMW emblem. If anyone finds a part number for the 68mm OE parts, please post it here.

Your saying these are both supposed to be for wheel caps? Ive def learned for the most part, dont by emblems from Amazon. Ebay can be good as long as you really know what your looking for. Colors do seem off as well as thickness like you pointed out. |

I saw a bunch in person yesterday at a dealer based cars & coffee. They are nice looking in person, but I'd still prefer the traditional version on my cars.

That's problematic. I received it from Amazon within two days of ordering and once I opened the package and saw the quality, I went on-line to duplicate the order only to find Amazon had removed the item and the seller! You don't suppose BMW had a hand in that, do you??
I do have this hubcap set arriving tomorrow, for comparison purposes. Appears to be exactly the same product. Two-day free delivery. Last edited by BMWCCA1; 07-17-2022 at 01:37 PM.. |

they look good on a classic vintage BMW from the era when those were used—-they look absurd on a modern BMW, imo.

Here how it looks on a X3 OEM wheel.
I am also selling 1 new full set (1x 82 mm front, 1x 74 mm trunk emblem, 4 wheel caps of 56 mm), please pm me for more info. Please note that this is not OEM BMW, but quality is very similar to OEM. |

For me the original is the best of them all. I like the basic BMW style. After all it's the badge of the car I sought to own. Would I change the Mona Lisa's smile to a wide open mouth white teeth showing bellow....nope.
To me this is the signature of the car. And imo you don't change signatures mid life. This new design is nice but but takes away the heritage of the brand. Sorry old school thought's I guess. For me classic brands that have won their place should leave their logo's alone. Really in todays world many companies are bringing back their old fonts or styles of logo's to show they know a few things. I like that. |

Sorry to have to correct you now, but most of the world doesn't know that or care much. To most of us less informed BMW admirer's BMW has basically one logo. The black, white and blue one. |
