I want to order some center caps for my car, but I'm not sure what MM size they are. I'd hate to get some that are too small or too big.

My wheels are style 246

Can anyone help me out? 65mm?

RealOEM doesn't even list diameter ... but a couple of google searches seems to indicate the wheel centercaps are 70mm. Maybe a call to your local dealer might help if someone else doesn't chime in.

Worse case scenario is that I measure them myself.

I can tell you that just about every modern BMW Original Wheel Center Cap is the same diameter and usually interchangeable. Aftermarket wheels definitely use a different diameter centercap.

I ordered some 70mm CF caps last week and got them today. It is confirmed that they are in fact 70mm. They fit like a charm

From where did you wind up getting them?
