do most BMW owners like those floating BMW wheel center caps?
do most BMW owners like those floating BMW wheel center caps? (not the cheap imitation ones from eBay... but the "genuine" BMW floating caps sold at BMW dealer parts department)
thanks! |

I love ‘em! There’s just something about walking out to the car after a long day at work and seeing all four center wheel caps on my M2 matching and right side up. Ahhhhhh.
 Probably tells you something about my personality.  Last edited by jefe2000; 03-30-2026 at 08:22 PM.. |

I was rolling a new set of wheels around my garage this afternoon. They arrived with floating center caps. I was amused. The BMW cap always stayed upright no matter where I rolled the wheels in the garage. Until I noticed that my next door neighbor was watching me being silly.  |

I like them, but I haven't been able to convince myself to pay that much money for what is essentially four simple bits of plastic. Perhaps one day...

I finally treated myself to a set of "floaters" - found them on Amazon for $115 (at the time, and from an actual BMW dealer(!) selling them through Amazon. Seemed like a small price to pay considering my investment in the vehicle.
My only complaint is that I'm not able to watch them when driving. |

They are just silly eye-candy. But there is a market for every type of bling-bling. a

For anyone saying ‘logo points to the valve stem’ - the caps rotate after hard driving, especially on RWD cars. If you have OCD, this will drive you nuts. |
