Cracked Alloy

I'm glad to here someone has won a case against BMW for the damage to the alloy's.

I just replaced all the tyres on my car, and I was told that one of the wheels has 3 fractures on the rim.
These are not hairline cracks or no where near it.


My car is still in warranty, so i contacted the dealer in NI, and there is nothing they can do.
The response is the car is not built for the roads here... So why are they selling them.

They just admitted the wheels are not fit for their purpose so why the hell are they allowed to sell them.

I'm tired of these big firms ripping us off.

I have to buy a new alloy wheel and it is going to cost me 600 euro.

The dealer tried to tell me that I hit a pot hole and it caused 3 cracks in 3 different locations on the alloy rim.

If the crack was in one spot maybe it was a pot hole, but 3 different cracks, come on.

I am going to take this further, I think everyone should report this to watchdog, the more people that do this, maybe BMW will have to own up to their mistakes.
