Yes , those are the original ones that fit if you don't have a STB installed.
I still have a set kicking around somewhere.....

Sorry about the poor picture, but are you talking about this??

These are Engine Bay Appearance Cover Plugs BMW E39 5 Series #330679787450

I purchased them on Ebay for $6.00 for the set.
These fit a 3 1/8 inch inside diameter hole. They fit very snugly.

Thank you I've been searching for something that'll fit snugly for the longest time and couldn't come up with anything. The one from StrongStrut don't fit worth a ****. Thanks again for the part number, much appreciated.

I purchased this same part # from Ebay, and they don't fit at all. Way too large. If anyone else tries it, you may want to confirm the size with the seller first.

I have these and they fit perfectly, but I don't have a strut brace.
Not sure if you can make them work with a strut brace.

Edit: Oh, I see these were already mentioned above.

Bump (apologize if this was answered in another thread) but which dust cover fits in conjunction with the factory strut bar?
