bmtespar · 11-03-2018, 01:49 PM

Yep. I plan to get a pair for my x3. Silly but I love it. I think they should fit the x3.

It's Rolls Royce.

I bet that this floating hub cap is one of those features that no one else would notice but yourself

unless you point it out to your friends.....

I thought these will be standard with the new G20, so expect wide availability in the US later.

How easy is it to fit these without removing the wheels?

Very easy with a suction cup like the sat nav or phone holder ones that fit to the windscreen.

383vett · 11-04-2018, 04:44 PM

If one of the logos jams, does the car flip over?

No, but the wheel will fall off.

Does that mean they are easily stolen??

Speedbird1 · 11-05-2018, 04:38 AM

I find this dire warning from the BMW website rather worrying:

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This product is for installation by trained technicians and not by an end user. Installation must be performed exclusively by a specialist workshop. Your local BMW Centre will be able to assist with installation. Damage to any part due to incorrect fitment is not covered under warranty.

Are they really that technically critical to the safe use of the car !!!

If the thieves have a suction cup yes.

Also probably the same likelihood .

This part number is still blocked by BMW Na.

I can't order and I would never pay retail for this.

Carry on

Don’t think a screwdriver would fit unless it’s extremely thin.
