Re: Style 5 cap fit
Did you line up the marks?

Yes, bearing cap is probably it.

Bearing cap?
Hmm have to check that out. Had not noticed anyone else with that issue.
Thx

Re: Style 5 cap fit
Just put some bigass spacers behind them Paul
Seriously, that is odd
As you are aware, I don't have style 5's, but about a million others do, and without this issue
Have you tried a bigger hammer
Sorry, Friday afternoon, bored at work, and about to hang it up, go home, and crack a cold one

Re: Style 5 cap fit
The match mark is lined up in the second pic, not in the first.

Re: Style 5 cap fit
No the marks are lined up.
,double checked it again today.
They go on but not snap in place and cannot b pushed down any further.im afraid they may go flying off on a hard corner.
I'm going to try tomorrow to dent the caps back a bit n see what happens.
Noticed on realoem that e39s don't have a cap at all. And most all other chassis share the same cap as the e24. So no switching around caps.
Will report back.

Re: Style 5 cap fit
It has got to be bearing cap.
Everything looks as it should as far as I can tell
Rear has No caps so no issue .
What are my options ?
Opinions ?
I'm going to pull the wheel n remove dome bearing cap n reinstall n see what happens.

Re: Style 5 cap fit
Also noticed the OE one installed in pic above is different from one now available.
Real OEM shows a discontinued part which looks like the one I have. Newer style might be the trick is it is more like a hat n not a pancake. We shall see.
Going to look n see what on the 84 euro if not I'll order a pair n c what happens.

Re: Style 5 cap fit
If the part nos. on the caps and wheels match respectively then I think that the cap is the problem.
Good luck.
