Yes, it's a sticker

Correct. But it does fit exactly and feels kinda cool.

Damn that's a sweet margin for a sticker.

I think it looks really nice and would totally buy it, though. I've blown my money on way worse.

In all fairness- its a really rigid, carbon overlay, with 3M adhesive. Call me crazy, but I don't mind it. Makes for a super easy install.

Sure, it looks cool. But carbon fiber is both about looking cool and saving weight. This literally adds weight to the car. There is nothing “M Performance” about it. Yes, the added weight is negligible, but if BMW is going to sell it for that price, it needs to be an actual cap replacement, not just an overlay.

Not knocking you guys for buying it. Just knocking BMW for selling it. It’s the same as MB charging $600+ for carbon fiber overlay sideview mirror caps. If it’s an overlay, it might as well be a vinyl wrap.

just did my 4th fuel fill up last night since installing this and i still love popping that cap open and seeing this in there. To me the small details that most will never notice or recognize make the biggest effect to ME who does notice them and does see them. Worth $200...probably not, worth $100 i think more reasonable...none the less, no difference than those that spend THOUSANDS on the under hood MP cf engine covers. Will anyone see them? not unless you show them, lol. But you know its there. and when you open the hood, you see them. I open my gas cap more than i open the hood, just saying, lol

I also thing the same. $100.00-$130.00. I'll spend that much. It's definitely a good touch to the car. There is a reason why BMW is always bavkordered on this product. Demand is crazy for this. I managed to only get 20 and even that, after waiting a few months. lol.

Alright guys. I didn't think I'm going to get hammered with messages. It's going to be hard to track if I have to send invoices to everyone. Just buy it straight from the website.

Sorry for the delay in replying to your messages. This product by far has been the hardest product to locate and maintain stock. Unbelievable!

Anyways, I stocked up on these again. Paid for them 2 months ago and finally received my shipment yesterday. I have 60 plus in stock now in Michigan. Selling them for $100.00 even. I don't want you guys paying 160 plus for the gas cap. Come on now. Give your savings to a charity of your choice.
