gd48, you mentioned in one of your posts about rejecting the vehicle. Personally I would see a battle on all counts. If you are talking of rejecting the 'optional' 19" wheels, then perhaps you have a stronger case. I assume your 330d car did not come with 18" wheels as standard fitment, but you had an optional 19" fitment. According to BMW documents, they say (in context), cars perform best on the standard configuration.
I suppose it all depends where the burden of proof rests. If BMW and Bridgestone have documented design and development records, that rims and tyres have not failed prematurely, tyres last reasonable mileage in average driving conditions, then the 'fit for purpose' bit gets tougher to dispute.
How you would get to see the R&D reports and test data collected at that stage, without official investigation, I'm not sure.
