BMW finance and modding

just need some info if you can help.
my car at the mo is on a pcp through bmw finance and i want to change the alloys that are currently on there for a after market set ive got my eye on.
question is do/will bmw finance allow this? do i have to notify them of the change?... oviously ill tell my insurance comp. when the car goes back will it be a issue or will i have to replace the alloys back to the original ones?

thanks

hey

the policy does say no mods, as it will effect the re sale price.

as its wheels though, i would change then and keep the old ones in storage. then swap back when the time comes to chop the car in..

treat finance and insurance company's like your wife, girl friend. little white lies are ok, big lies and they will screw you, and you will lose a lot of money in the settlement....

not sure on the warranty question. i guess if you have the same size rims and rft wont be a issue.... prob best to ask in writing to bmw customer service.
