How to: BMW Style 5 or BBS RC090 Center Cap Removal

How to remove the center caps on BMW Style 5s or also know as BBS RC090. Someone had requested this video quite a while ago, so I had a little time to throw this together. These are quite easy to remove, do no use a screwdriver which I have seen some use in the past. Prying at the caps will chew up the edges, chip the paint, and even crack the caps. BMW has a center cap removal tool attachment in the trunk which is normally found in a foam block. This is normally in the spare tire well, either above or below the spare wheel. If you’ve lost yours, they’re fairly cheap to replace from the dealer, I’ll include the part number below in the description. #bmw #bmwe39 #bbs

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-center cap removal tool (#36131180626)
-foam storage block (#36131093009)
-17mm socket
-ratchet
-wheel wrench
-clean rag

Procedure:
-normally I like to clean the cap off with a clean cloth to remove any dirt which may scratch the paint
-insert the removal tool
-on the rear of the removal tool is a 17mm hex head, same size as what is used on the lug studs, so you can use your wheel wrench on this
-turn the cap counter clockwise, as it’s turning it will push out of it’s location
-then remove
-for reinstallation, I also like to clean the edge of the hole with a clean rag so the paint doesn’t get scratch by any dirt
-there will be an arrow on the cap which is to be aligned with a line around the opening
-if this is not aligned, the cap may not fit correctly and you can risk it falling out
-push and it’ll snap into place
-I usually give it a little wiggle to ensure it’s seated correctly
