So that turned out to be a complete waste of time considering they can make up any crap to cover their arses.

Out of interest has anyone tried their insurance company on this? Not sure what they would cover in the event of wheels and tyres being damaged on the road if BMW and the council not covering it. I guess even if they did cover the cost it would be a black mark against your no claims which essentially wasn't your fault.
Interesting case of who's to blame. The council for not maintaining smooth roads, BMW for not manufacturing wheels to withstand UK roads or the motorist for not having insurance that covers for accidental wheel/tyre damage. Obviously it's the motorists wallet either way that gets the ultimate hit.
