Yes :D We fitted a set to my friends series 3 earlier this year. The finish is very good, we didn't have any originals to compare against, but they certainly look the part. Only criticism was that they were a bit loose & rattly when installed on the wheel. I don't think they would have fallen off, but they would have made a bit of a racket. I overcame this by stretching some grommets over the pegs, so that when the hub cap is fitted, they sit against the grommets, which hold them tight & stops the rattling, & also holds them just off the rim, so avoids them marking or chipping the paint. A bit of an added bonus :D
