I’m looking for a sorce for a complete center cap
And the options are few

It has been a few years but I bought a complete set new from BMW.

The part numbers are shown here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=36_0012 Apparently they are still available from the dealer and aren't very expensive.

Alas they are not: https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-parts/b ... 6132225376
That was confirmed over on Schmiedmann which can't even pull up the part in a search.

I feel like a maroon for not buying a couple of extra caps back in 2020 when they were cheap and available.

I bought these https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E28-M5-S3 ... 132225376/ from ECS.

They're not OEM quality, but passable until BMW decides to start stocking them again.

Same, but from TCE directly who now live in Denver. The down side is they need to be painted/refinished. Maybe a better price if you contact them directly.

They do fit decent and are better than no center caps. I have had my set of wheels for 15 years but without caps, so at least I have them now! My original set went with the m5 I had previously...

Do E34 15 inch Style 5 wheels use the same part number 36132225376 as hub caps that the 1988 16 inch Style 5 wheels use for hub caps (1988 M5 wheels 36112225518 Style 5 Wheel 16x7.5 ET20)?

Are they interchangeable, or do they differ in any way?
