The BMW caps can easily be removed with a suction cup, not sure about your BSA wheels though...

I have a better solution. They sell the roudel sticker (like the one on the center cap). The sticker is a like a thin aluminum backing. You can go this route if the oem bmw center cap does not fit in your aftermarket wheels. GL

if you search ebay for "bmw center caps sticker" you will find a bunch of different ones with different diameters. Don't forget to show us some pics with the final result

uhhhh, the center caps just pop out with a small flat head screw driver. You don't need to take off the wheels.
