[dalex44]

hey guys, my bumper became loose and it actually popped off on one side, the passenger side of the bumper towards the top, there is a little plastic bracket that hold it to the car it snapped, can someone give mer the part number to it i cant find it anywhere on realoem or anywhere, or a website that has it , also i have rep mpars 18x8 all the way around, i found out they need hubcentric rings i bought them from discount tire direct, problem is idno if there e38 or e39 or if it matters, can someone send me a link with a set of the proper hubcentric ring set for my wheels and car its a 95 540i, and can someone send me a link for a set of locking lug nuts that fit my mpars i cant find these things anywhere ive tryed. i almost could have died, because 3 lug nuts spun out of my left rear wheel and it could have ripped off at 60 mph and id be in a diff place right now so yeah thanks in advance guys

Perhaps yours looked different because its broken...

Re. hubcentric rings. Sizes are posted all over the place, if you are unsure what your rims are, measure them to make sure, that will end any speculation as to what size you need.

Re. Lug nuts spinning off... regardless of whether they are nuts or bolts, properly torqued they should not spin off, however if you have excessive vibration caused by improper wheel fitment I suppose that could cause them to come loose.

just measure for the hubcentric ring b/c that's the only way to be sure...

the bracket the previous poster posted up should be the right part, not sure what else you could be referring to.

No need to measure. Hub rings are common and cheap for these cars.
dalex, look for the vendor wheels and caps on ebay. Its like fifteen dorra for them with free shipping.

I am not disagreeing, I directly quoted his response to the bracket looking different than what was shown in the diagram, in the first sentence. The second sentence (paragraph) clearly refers to the hubcentric rings which was addressing another question asked in the original post. That sentence was preceded with "Re." That means reference, as in referring to your other question....

No kidding, within the first week of reading in this forum, I had learned about hubcentric wheel alignment, and that it was critical that the wheel bore matched the hub. It is one of the easiest pieces of information to find, therefore I assumed he was concerned that perhaps his wheels are different and may need a different size. Measuring them will put his mind at ease.

Oh ok. gotya...
haha I thought that you thought that I thought......
