now I face a bit of a dilemma.
Do I go aftermarket ,(very reluctantly) or get all the wheels checked and replace as necessary with BMW replacements?
Needless to say,the run flats will be ditched either way.
The wheels are 19" 225M, on a 2009 320d m sport coupe
I bought the car in June this my first bmw and I am well dischuffed.
Don't suppose I've got a cat in hells chance of a refund as I bought the car privately, albeit with FBMWSH.
Just an update on this one, had the run out test done yesterday, and the Dealer replaced the the cracked alloy foc, and gave the other 3 a clean bill of health, only had to pay for the run out test, superb service I have to say.
