Description

This is a dust cap for the newer style BMW E30 strut mounts. The hole in the newer style is larger than the old ones and the original cap doesn't fit the replacement mounts, nor do the mounts come with their own dust caps. Mine measured 31.3mm but yours may measure differently. I think OEM is 32mm. To make a quick test print, flip the model upside down and sink it into the print bed so only the ring is printed. Make a couple of those stepping 1% at a time to find a nice tight slip fit, the ring will probably shrink when cool. Please note, this model doesn't have emblems shown in pics.
