4 x new BMW wheel roundels (i think that's what you call them) - mine are pitted.

Kidney grill - clip/s broke.

2 x front CF splitters/fins. 1 has a large crack that has previously been repaired but still visible and the other a large stone chip so probably best to replace both.

Cheers

BMW (if you want OEM quality, which I'm sure you do :blalala: ). I just bought the roundels from BMW :).

I've got new wheel badges too but they're not the same as the originals which you cant get any more.

Yep, get the wheel centre caps from BMW as the others pop out if you get the ebay ones.

I heard the front splitters price had dropped from BMW back to the normal price but could be wrong.

I've just today had these delivered, opelise ^ didn't appear to have any wheel caps in stock but this seller is the cheapest I think....

Very snug fit but genuine so should be :-D
I'm guessing the 'proper' original ones had the white plastic rim around the edge which appears to be prone to cracking, these are the new type with a thin chrome rim.

These guys are pretty good for oem parts at a cheaper rate than dealers.

I got news ones from the Dealer for about £35 iirc. They have the chrome edges now.

I got the updated OEM ones new from a dealer over ebay for 16€. Part Nr 36136783536. Worth a look there first.

Cheers guys. I assume the CF splitters have to come direct from BMW if wanting OEM?
