Valve Stem Caps for 214 Style Wheels ?

[BGM]

Does anyone know of an online vendor that sells these (they are the mushroom shape that are on the 20" 214 style wheel) ? Dealers have told me that BMW has switched to normal caps and don't carry these anymore. Thanks.

I coudn't find those valve caps anywhere so I decided to go with the OEM ones that have the BMW roundel on them. Kind of like cuff links but for your car ha.

I wish you could have found some somewhere. I actually need one.

Those caps I don't think are a BMW part. They are part of the TPMS. You might try Beru or their distributor since they are the manufacturer of the TPMS.

Just make sure they are the plastic ones and not the aluminum ones. I had to have mine drilled off, they fused to the stem. I gave them out at two meets and mailed a set to a Statdoc, who also had to have his drilled off too. Who knew

They are the ones the parts dept at the dealer sells (the roundel ones below).

It's the winter salt that does it. A little bit of anti-seize on the valve stem thread and it's not a problem.

That said, I have heard you should not use metal caps with TPMS as it can interfere with the TPMS RF signal.

+1 on avoiding the metal caps with BMW logos. Snapped off a stem. Didn't use anti-seize but in the end was not worth the aggravation.

Thanks. Dang I wish I knew earlier. I bought those OEM Roundel ones which are actually a nice touch to the wheel so will just roll with those.
