WTB - acorn style valve cover nuts

[Swanny]

Have been reading some older threads about the e21 nuts that are too short for the e30 and some chatter about early e34. Nothing definite though...does anyone have a part # or nut height that's accurate? I know it's an m6 size but the height evades me.

I dont know what the size is per se but I got a set of an e32 735i in the junkyard. Another car that had the exact same ones were e34 535i. In fact I got one set for me and one for a friend off of those two cars. Polished em. They work and look fantastic.

Ok so the m30 nuts are correct and don't bottom out on the studs

Those are just about the same price as from the dealer. Already had to order a new key for my e39 so just wanted a bit more verification that they'd work since there's no information on the specific length of the nut. Looks like I've got the answer!


Thanks guys
