Floating Centre Caps

Does the new G20 come with these fitted as standard?

I did also but checked mine and they are the standard type. I am sure I read that all new G20's have them but cant find this anywhere.

Mine hasn’t got them thank goodness.
I like the concept but I am sure that they would be stolen.

Yes that's true and if you loose one I bet you have to purchase a set of four

This is probably tempting fate but Mine have been on my 330e for 9 months and they are still there. When stationary You cannot tell the difference from normal caps so I cannot see them being more likely to be stolen.

I guess if one does go missing I still have the originals to fill the gap until I get a new set.

Freaky timing, I went into the stealers to pick up a part yesterday and spotted these on the shelf. I'd never heard of them before but I think the idea is quite cool.

I was then going to post on here to ask if the G20 had them.

Undecided whether to purchase some, cool idea but how many times do I see the wheels when the car is in motion!? Guess it's useful if you're filming video though.

I thought these were standard on the G20, as someone earlier said. I know I’ve seen it or heard it somewhere, but just gone out to check mine and they’re not.

To be honest, can’t say I’m actually bothered, probably end up getting stolen by some skank!

Bit like my gesture control, nice gimmick but in reality pointless imo.

Pretty sure mine doesn't have them either. Agree with the gesture control - I pretty much never use it/forget it's even there...

It’s funny really, gesture control was on my list of ‘must have’ features when searching..... but with it working first time only 50% of the time it’s quicker to push a button!! Also I thought it may do more, more commands (not sure what), so personally find it a bit disappointing.

I think it's more to do with the fact, that when someone with OCD approaches the car, he will see perfectly presented BMW badge. Not side ways not upside down

Easy to fit, just push in.

But mind how you take off the old ones, use a sucker or if prising off with a screw driver cover the edge so you don't scratch the wheel. Once loosened a little they come off easily

They look like nice little mod for £60

Perfect for it if it has a thin enough edge.
