So i noticed after getting my new tires installed (DWS06), that my genuine BMW, shallow, metal valve stem caps were gone and replaced with regular rubber caps. :( too late to make a big deal of it as I didn't notice until i got home.
The new valve stem thread area looks a bit longer and my old BMW caps wouldn't cover them fully i think, even if I still had them. (still have some OLD ones i should double check).
These are the short ones I had:

So i am looking for some regular length BMW METAL valve stem caps. I know they phased out the metal ones due to TPMS issues and the ones you get from dealer are plastic, but made to look like metal.
But i know that at one point they had genuine BMW metal caps, that are newer than my old ones. I just can't find the part number for them, somehow.
I am picky about keeping it to genuine BMW (or of equal quality) due to the rubber o-ring they have...
So if you guys know where i can get some newer METAL BMW stem caps, (OR non-BMW but decent quality with O-ring inside) please post.
Thanks in advance.
