BMW 7 Series Wheel Trims Replacement Parts

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) do exist on the BMW 7 Series, but they are uncommon and typically only found on the most basic steel-wheel configurations, which are rare on this premium saloon — most 7 Series left the factory with alloy wheels. If your car has steel wheels and you need the plastic trims that clip over them, breakers can source these, but the vast majority of 7 Series buyers searching for wheel trims may actually be looking for alloy wheels or alloy wheel centre caps instead. If you're after centre caps or alloys, it's worth searching those terms specifically on Findapart to get the right quotes.

The E65 (2001–2008) and F01 (2008–2015) are entirely different generations with different wheel diameters and fitment specifications, so trims or centre caps from one generation will not transfer to the other. Even within each generation, BMW used different wheel sizes depending on specification, so you need to match the exact wheel diameter and centre bore. Always confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of wheel trims, since the clips and diameter are determined by the wheel itself rather than the trim designation. However, you should be aware that M Sport models often came with larger-diameter alloy wheels than SE models within the same generation, so the rim size on your specific car is what you need to match, not the trim badge. Confirm the wheel size on your car before asking a breaker for wheel trims or centre caps.

The F01 ran from 2008 to 2015 with a facelift around 2012, but the facelift primarily affected styling details rather than wheel specifications, so fitment of wheel trims within the F01 generation is broadly consistent provided the wheel diameter matches. That said, minor changes in centre cap design or clip arrangement across the facelift cannot be ruled out, so confirm compatibility against your registration with the breaker to be sure. Never assume fitment without checking the specific part number.

The G11 (2015 onwards) is a completely different generation to the F01 (2008–2015) and the two share no wheel trim or centre cap compatibility. Wheel diameters, centre bore sizes, and cap designs differ significantly between generations, so parts from one will not fit the other. A breaker will need your exact registration to source the correct item for your car.

Steel-wheeled 7 Series are genuinely rare since the model was overwhelmingly supplied with alloy wheels, so plastic wheel trims for this car are not commonly held by breakers. It is worth contacting several dismantlers through Findapart and confirming the wheel diameter and trim part number against your registration, as availability will be limited. If you cannot source original trims, universal-fit trim sets are available from motor factors as an alternative, provided the diameter matches your steel wheels.
