To be honest I would have gotten the carbon cap if it just had the letter M on it instead of M performance, I just don't want to put anything that says M performance on my car if I don't have to, same idea for the carbon door sill, the M performance wing be the only exception.

Just get the carbon fiber gas cap! Shave those precious milliseconds off of your lap times!

Yeah I purchased it recently. Delivered within 1 week, and great quality with tape already attached.
Just doesn't come with the sticker which indicates the turn to lock instruction.
Definitely worth it for 1/4th the price of OEM for something you rarely see.

Just ordered one

I can’t believe the amount of people they pay $90-$100k for a car and are even shopping on AliExpress for cars parts. I paid $82 shipped for my M Performance OEM cap.

I also seeing “where did you get your Goldenwrench caps?” “Oh, shop X.” You overpaid.

[Draper]

Genuine cap was $85 shipped for me.

Kind of weird it doesn’t come with the sticker already on. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, no kidding. I didn’t even realize until the next day, I’d tossed the box and the sticker was apparently in the box. So, I’m without it.

Can I get an ivory back scratcher instead? 😅

It’s a gas cap cover that only I will see. If it fails or doesn’t fit right I’ll toss it in the trash.

There are plenty of other areas to spend full price for quality parts.

So, spend $40 for trash you may end up throwing away, anyway, and then spend $85-$100 to make it right? Or buy once, cry once and know what you’re going to get.

Cry zero times. Confused AF why people even want this. Sure, pay more for bragging rights on how much extra you spent? For a sticker.

The black plastic cap just looks like hammered dog shit, so, at least make it asthetically appealing.

Nothing to do with bragging rights. Who even knows why BMWs have gas caps. My other cars for the past 3-4 years, have been capless.

I was today years old when I learned there was a little white “directional” sticker in the box I was supposed to apply. I’ll just leave it in the box. Looks clean without it!

[Draper]

The $85 sticker has been installed, and my life is now complete.

Limegrntaln feel free to save this pic for reference when you go to fill up next…just in case.

$85 for a gas cap sticker?? Why waste $85 on this? The only time you'll see it is when you're gassing up.

The whole cap is $85. The sticker doesn’t come applied to the cap. You have to put it on, yourself. I didn’t realize it was in the box and threw the box away. So, he’s making fun of me, if I want the sticker, spend the $85 for a new cap.
