My M3 · 08-19-2024, 05:31 PM

Great choice & colour. Very well done

Sharp! Thanks for sharing.

Idk why i5 m60 have polarized opinion- its a clean modern design imo

Game · 08-19-2024, 07:42 PM

Legit thought this was an M5 at first glance. Looks great.

wdeerfield · 08-19-2024, 08:40 PM

Looks great! I think a color match trunk lip would blend better but overall nice looking ride you got there.

Always use rubber or plastic stem caps. Metal ones, even aluminum can get stuck. Not worth it

Actually, 3 things to say about that:

First of all, thanks for the tip!
My caps (which look a lot like those) actually have a plastic insert where the threads are so it is plastic touching the actual stem, and metal on the outside.
Lastly, I replaced them recently with the official BMW M caps that RichardInCA has. These new ones are all metal, but I figure they are BMW OEM caps, so they should be ok.

Here is a current picture. Maybe I'll go back and forth every now and then. We'll see.

Stunning!

Looks good... All you need now is some spacers front/back to give it the aggressive look. Enjoy!

Looks awesome, OP. I love what you did to the roof - completely changes the look and obviously for the better.

Looks really nice 💯💯💯💯

Can you share the part numbers for the other 2?

Mac545 did you install entrance covers on the rear door sills as well?

aabc · 11-07-2024, 09:01 AM

@Musti3000

Could you post the link of where you found those buttons?
How was the installation process?

SkykingUSA · 11-12-2024, 05:01 PM

I'm wanting to install some BMW floating center caps on the wheels, preferably in black and white if they are available, but a) I don't know what size to get, and b) I don't have a part number for black ones. I found parts on Amazon, but they give sizes based on wheel bolt patterns: 5x120 or 5x112. Which size is the 19" M Sport wheel on my 2024 i5 eDrive40?

SkykingUSA · 11-14-2024, 03:24 AM

I did some research online and it appears that the G60 uses the 5x112 wheel bolt pattern, which means that the wheel center caps are 56mm in diameter, not the larger 68mm diameter ones that are on the 5x120 wheels.

I ordered these Floating Center Caps on eBay and will post pictures once I have them installed. I'm thinking they will look good with my Red/Black theme for the car. Hopefully before the end of this weekend since they should arrive Friday or Saturday from Miami.

Thanks for the floor mat part number. My winter mats look great.
