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.vinceg101 wrote: Jul 10, 2024 4:52 PM Alas they are not: https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-parts/b ... 6132225376

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

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.M Blitz wrote: Aug 13, 2024 10:01 AM I bought these https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E28-M5-S3 ... 132225376/ from ECS.
