The ones on my original set were very tight. Had to use a block of wood and hammer to put it in.
Easier to take out - tap it out from the rear with hammer handle.
When you refurbished, were the rims repainted? If yes, could be the paint in the way.

Yes it was repainted and sides were polished but the problem is that the hub caps is too lose and could not fit in.
I have been trying to get shocks for my rear but to no avail (BOGE), 3 shops that I have inquired are Bomin (Sachs RM160 each), Munich auto (Gabriel RM180 each) and Bavarian auto (none avail)
I am looking for the oil base BOGE rear shocks, where could I get them and how much?
As for the front and rear emblem, only the latter shops carries the original about RM40++ for front and RM75++ rear, the rest of the shops only have the non genuine parts selling for RM40++ each.
As for the paint where could I send? So far a Segambut shop offered 1.6k in and out to respray, maintaining the same color Alpine Weiss using Dupont, anywhere I could get cheaper with good wmanship? Rust and dents treated!
So far the following were spent
1. Chrome front and rear bumpers RM240
2. Rims restoration RM375
3. Ducaro GA 185/70/13 4 pcs RM450
4. Rust and dents treatment RM650
5. Air Cond Renewed RM350
6. Termostat RM45
7. Brakes renewed RM390
8. BOSCH Plugs, Oil filter and Shell Helix RM25, RM15 and RM100
9. BMW Centre Exhaust Box RM350
Outstanding Work that needs to be done
1. Paint Job RM?????
2. Rear Shocks (Do I need to replace the springs when replacing the shocks?)
3. Alignment and balancing
4. Interior Cleaning
5. Engine Tuning (Seems to be inconsistent idling prob prior repacing the centre exhaust box, upon replace the idling prob resolved however at times it seems to idle at a higher RPM slightly above 1000RPM)
Managed to save cost by canibalizing parts from another e21!
The car is a stock standard e21 320/6!

Ichiwan Thanks for the fedback, just noticed that the question has been answered in the classic forum by yourself.
The chrome was done on Segambut, let me know if you wish to get it done will take you to the place, it was done in kedai bawah pokok!
What else parts of e21 can be chrome?

Chrome bumpers were done at bawah pokok shop in Segambut, no weld needed just chroming.
The rims was painted on the centre portion and the edge(skim area) were polished and skim.
Chrome, no worries, can take you guys to the place if u r keen!
