I love the self realization and update half way.
Suction cup works like a charm!
I used a windshield phone mount's suction cup and popped all 4 right out
Same here haha 😆
Or if you're my local bmw dealer, pry the center caps out with a metal pick and when I return to pick the car up tell me it was like that.
🎯
that kind of services make me never back! they think we are idiots? i take more than a year of payment into a used, but nice car... just because it was old not means the car is trash and not deserve caution... i found a nice place now that even polish free my car when i need some services, plus they do a nice work in mechanic, i just need a nice shop for cosmetic stuff, i want ambient lights in my bmw 120i 2015 and here is kind hard to fine someone enable to do the job... i bought RGB kit, but never take off a piece of console to do it properly, i had some fear in breaking stuff... my money is not infinity and i like to take care of my stuff. this is why i want professional to do it... if i do it, may works, but, is possible to make some mistake as i did in my old PC, i break 3 or 4 pins that fix the front painel, after i switch my case i almost did the same mistake, but this time i break a screw in my radiator, soo, with cars the problem is worse because is a machine that i use to travel in roads, i prefer pay more but be made right!
I had a set and 2 of them fell off during driving. The spinning force pulls the clips out over time. Put a dab of silicon on each of the teeth to make sure it stays put.
I used a thin guitar pick to pop the original caps without removing the wheel. Found out that the dealership used a screwdriver to remove the caps when I had the tires changed and they actually scratched my rims!
Guitar pick trick for the win!
Now if only I can find my missing guitar picks. lol
2:42 The trick with using 3M mounting tape worked really well for all 4 wheels. I used 30 lb 3M tape. Nice tip!
Just need to find a car with floating hub caps fitted already. Will save me £80 - thanks!!
I negotiated a set of these for my F10 when I bought it from BMW approved used, the ones on the car were corroded. I love them.
Kies you are awesome.. Just got these and some 3M tape.. 2 minutes was all it took to get them installed!
The joy of making a new discovery. The look on his face is worth a minute of the video. LOL Good job!
You're good. Very good. You obviously care about your viewers in coming up with an easier solution. Nice.
I have these for over a year on my g30 & never came off. They really nice
The tip with the 3M tape is awesome!
Suction cups work great too if you don't want to take your wheels off👍
20hp right there.
I wouldn't pull the floating ones off like that though. But that's a great tip for the OEM caps.
Popping it out from the inside is the safest way to do it, but if you're careful you can lever them out pretty easily. I have an iFixIt toolkit, and the plastic trim remover did the job nicely. It's not as good as the RR center cap, but it's a nice subtle mod.
Hope you all watched to the end!! Real pro tip there
Love it!!!! You must have it on your car!! Really smart way to remove your cap!! With the 3M take!! Lol 😆
Or just to save some time you can use a suction cup to pull them out
Someone didn’t watch the second half of the video
Yup suction cup is 100% the best and easiest way . I feel bad for anyone who is taking there wheels off to do this.
I’d imagine you could use a suction cup to take the caps off as well?
Just used the mounting tape trick, works a treat thanks man. Do you think that would work on the hood emblem?
Now what's the best way to secure the center caps so people don't jack mine LOL you made this way too easy for them.
I wrapped the grooves with threadseal so it would give extra grip
Great, easy vid!!! Thanks!
@2:23 Dummkopf Like the phone mount suction cup idea. It is on the BMW Channel. But any strong tape should work.
Waiting on the new BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M Roundels and Floating Wheel Center Caps coming in June 2022.
i loved this loool
Hey Brian,
Could you show how to hardwire an dash cam on f30, May be just the connections to the fuse.
Thanks
Fuse tap and find a switched 12v source. Look at your fuse diagram chart and look for the symbol that looks like -C->+. Those should be fuses for your cigarette outlets. Pull a fuse and find which outlet loses power to verify. That's it! Note, on F-series vehicles, even when you leave and lock your car. The outlet will still have power for about 10ish or below minutes. The car will then fully go to sleep and cut power to your cigarette outlets after.
Looking at this myself, I’m thinking rechargeable one tho, don’t want nasty wires in my cabin.
If you look up thicwhips on RUclips I think he has a video about it
pretty cool nice going Bryan
bryan is the best car guy
Great tape tip
I have a 2019 330i I bought the floating caps from the dealer and they told me it’ll fit but they are WAY to big for my wheels are these a insured fit?
That’s a great hack! 👍🏼
I used a suction cup to get all my center caps off sooo worth it i tried a screwdriver it was horrible i tried tape n all horrible. Trust me invest in a suction cup
in case, wheel is off, what's torque value to reinstall the wheel? Thanks
120 nm
103 lb ft / 140nm for the F3x and G20
Tight
@@eyeinthesky2403 Thanks
I bought aftermarket wheels but the original center caps are to big can I order these on my f30 but a smaller center cap size
For the people that only watched the first 1:35 of this video should watch till the end..
Would u be able to take off the stock ones the same way u take out the start stop button
That was easy :)
How do I clean them ? Mine got quite dirty and they won’t work like they have to. Any tips?
Need these on my F82 M4👍👌
Now... but can you put a start/stop button on that wheel??!!
So, how do you keep people from stealing them?
Lol, luv it
Why don't you use a suction cup puller
Missing footage of wheels turning with new caps!
Subtle mod Bryan but looks cool 😎
My wheels are the exact same ones, but mine the floating center caps the dealer gave me are larger and won’t fit
Sounds like you got f series center caps
@@KiesMotorsports thank you. Ordered the right ones from another site and will be returning the wrong ones back to the dealer.
No rolling shots??? 🤨😥
Take the wheels off to change the wheel caps??? Riiiight….🤪
My oem caps on the 666M were very tight, and a tab broke on the way in even when installed flat.
Sounds like you got the wrong one. There's two part numbers for these
It's so easy to steal. Is there a hack so it can't be removed from the front face side?
Suction cup?
For an emblem that according to many sources derives from a spinning aircraft propeller, it seems odd to me to perform a mod that will keep those props from spinning while you're cruising down the freeway.
The only problem with the caps are they fall out when they get to much heat
Absolutely, especially from the rear wheels first
False. I’ve had mine just over a year and driven over 20k miles and they’re just fine.
Clear silicon . “Lightly”. Silicon might differ. And you won’t damage anything.
Parts and installation at the BMW dealership will cost you $359.00 :-)
i used a suction cup for a towel hanger 😂
Haters who didn’t watch full video be like .
“Well gotta put my wheels back on now…”
Great tips for thieves.
Just saved me $150
Man, I did this in 2018 x3 G01, no need to remove ur tires, just put duck tape on it and snap!!!
Hahahaha u did it , I could not , u r funny
I love that you did not edit out the first part of the video 🤣💦💦
They are indeed pretty cool, but the quality is poor, shame on you BMW, I bought the genuine ones at the dealership, installed them on my original style 403 rims and they just don't really sit firm in the rim like they do in the vid, one has fallen of on the driveway after a short drive, an other one wasn't glue'd well so it released the emblem itself, after driving in the summer the caps are so loose you can remove them entirely from the wheel. put the back in the box unfortunately. Love those new g20 rims :)
first
They suck. They come off in car washes.
and don’t jack your car up 😂
so, you took the wheel off...? a plastic trim tool will pop the old one out, bang in the new one, you just wasted time sukka.
You should watch the whole video 😜
@@KiesMotorsports i did.
Do these fit on e65??
