WTB E3 Beauty rings /parts

[Fernando Gutierrez]

Hey guys,

I have a 73’ Bavaria, I’m currently looking for the clips that go on the beauty rings for 14” stock wheels.
Or if anyone has some random e3 parts too!
Thank you!

I have never seen an E3 with that type of trim ring. Were they OE or aftermarket? All others I have seen, the hub cap secured the trim ring...

Yes, looks like an Autozone or O'Reillys or similar part that fits a 14 inch wheel.

They are aftermarket, in the 70s you could buy that type for square light 13” 2002s as well.

From my understanding they are OEM.
A buddy who works from the parts department at BMW showed me an image on realoem.com, but if they are easily available third party, I wouldn’t mind.
I am familiar with the rings on the image you posted, I regret not picking up a set from a e12 I saw at the junk yard years ago.

Some clips still haha.

Lovely e3. There is no solid ring in the e3 parts book, it might be e12 but the clip is Ended.
