There are many reputable wheel refurbishment companies around your area, you could go down and have a look at their work... Just an idea....

Go to BMW and quote 'watchdog', as in the BBC programme if they say no. They should replace the wheel under warranty, as it is quite a big problem with the 225M rear wheel.

Google watchdog bmw wheel and check out the top link.
