Has anyone had to buy any BMW MV3 68mm centre caps recently?

If so where did you get them from? The ones I currently have fitted have a pretty much flat face to them, but all the repro ones online appear to be kind of domed instead?

These for example are domed:

Did do a quick search on here but couldn't find anyone with the same question

The ones from BMW are the same, and they supersede the old type.

You can still buy the old type. The latest chrome ones do stick out too far on the older wheels.
If you're looking to save money the cheapest way to do it is new badges/stickers on your old centre caps. Genuine BMW ones will always look better than aftermarket.

Thanks guys.

I had thought about stickers, but these are really corroded and bumpy. I might get a set of those cheaper ones for now and keep an eye out for some of the earlier type.

I think these stickers:

fit the old style centre caps with the clip on outer section.
