X7 floating hub caps

I'm not able to find floating hubcaps for X7M50. Does anyone know a part no. or they don't exist. Google shows but they don't appear to fit X7. Thanks

If you have factory rims, the center cap for X7 is 56mm.
The ones in the link will fit your car.

They’re listed in the online part databases:

Are these "floating" caps like the spinners of the 80's and 90's?

Yep, just a tad more tasteful. RR has been doing it for a while now. I've never really seen them "spin", but they'll rock back and forth a bit if not smoothly "floating". I came close to getting them for a new set of wheels on my other car, but couldn't bring myself to do it. If it were for my X7, I might have done it.

It's great that the recent update has Alexa in the car now, easier to Rick Roll on demand when someone notices your spinner wannabees.

We offer the floating center caps on our website. IND-Distribution.com

The 56mm size will be the correct fit for the G07 X7.

You can purchase the OEM floating center caps, or you can also purchase them with a custom painted gloss black edge.


Another variant we offer for the floating center caps, is a carbon fiber version with a gloss black custom painted bezel.

Could you do them with the Alpina logo?

No, sadly BMW has not released the floating variant of the Alpina center caps. We utilize OEM cores and complete the paint work in house for the BMW caps though.

No where near that actually . These are a very subtle cosmetic mod that most will not notice, especially when your car is moving, as they are still rather small. When it "might" get noticed is when you are parked and all four of your wheel caps are perfectly level/horizontal. Of course, YOU will notice this subtle mod every time you walk up to your car, which is what matters most IMHO .

It is a nice little touch, though. I recently picked up a set for a new set of wheels I recently purchased for my M3. Not sure if I will do it for the X7 yet, but it is on my "never ending" list of mods for my cars .

Any that is 56mm. I moved my 50 anniversary M from my 22 to 21 wheels (all bmw wheels) and they were 56mm

Would be cool if they had them in floating caps too, would switch to that since that was what my car came with.

All of the 5x112 BMW wheels use the same sized center cap 56mm. The 5x120 wheels for the most part used 68mm caps. The caps are not dependant on the wheel diameter.
