the best thing for me would be that when you stopped all the centre caps would be aligned

Custom cars have been using this sort of thing for years. However, instead of a floating deal, it's a spindle mounted piece which is actually attached to the threads on the spindle. I imagine people also added a piece of thread-stock or drilled out the center of the spindle and threaded it to accept a screw in piece. There have been several Street Rods which had spindle mounted ornaments over just the past 10 years. It's really quite neat when done right. I've never looked at the spindle on my E34, but I imagine that similar to every other spindle, it has a hole in the center... one which could be threaded or deepened and then threaded.
You may have to get tricky though and make something that fits JUST inside the center of the wheel so that you could take the wheel off without removing your ornament. If for no other reason, just that I can't think of any great way of making it stay in the hole outside of loktite. Then again, if you made it reverse thread, I suppose it wouldn't have much trouble staying in there. Hehe!
