Paint quality on original wheels
I have a 08 335d touring with 18" BMW wheels. I have noticed that the paint is coming off the edge of some of the spokes on the front wheels. Has anyone else had this problem? I spoke to the local garage and of course they said that I must have scraped them against something. I pointed out to them that the paint was coming off the back edge of the spoke so how could I have scraped that. They are getting them inspected but I am not holding out much hope. Pretty poor for a car with only 4000 miles on it.

It is poor and don't let them fob you off.

Mine are fine, a couple of kerb marks which are my fault but there is no paint defects at all.
I had a new wheel fitted to the Alfa on Monday as I wasn't happy with the finish. They initially refurbished the wheel and I still wasn't happy with the finish so I complained to Alfa UK who then paid for a new wheel. I've also had all 4 wheels replaced on a car before under warranty after 18 months/30K miles because of defects in the finish. You need to push hard and complain to BMW UK if you don't feel you are getting anywhere.

Agree, don't be fobbed off. Assume the car is under warranty so don't worry about it.
