    The stock M20 works, just get a new one and let it sit in hot water for a while. It'll stretch.

      You can also stretch it with a heat gun, that's what I did

        If you buy a new one I hear the rubber is soft enough to just stretch over with your hands.

        On mine i just pried it on with a screwdriver. I tried with the heating but it really didnt do much, so I just said fuck it and pried it on.

        If I would do it again though I would probably get a new one, chances are the one you have no is all worn and on the brink of cracking anyways.

          Hmm, well I tried heating it in water, and with my sisters hairdryer :D , and neither worked, so I got my thinking cap on, and decieded to get myself a M50 328i one, gonna go and fetch it 2day, cause I know it's bigger... lets see if that works.

            Yeah it kinda sucks for me, I just bought a new one less than a year ago. Ah well, they're cheap...I just hate tossing away money.
