Now this is a square and cracked wheel!!!

I had a slight wobble in the car so thought I would get all the wheels checked and balanced if required.

It all went well with the first three wheels. No cracks and well balanced but fook me the 4th wheel is square with two cracks

It was so bad the garage advised not to drive on it but I had no choice to get home.

look at this......

The dealer was very good about it and I'm getting a replacement wheel tomorrow morning so all sorted now hopefully

Bloody hell

BMW checked mine (without even being asked) while it was in for some other warranty work yesterday and reported my rear left has a crack that they feel must be changed... bit of a result really as that's one of the two badly scuffed ones (previous owner could only manage touch parking).

Hope the exchange goes well and without hitch for you!

Surprised the dealer would replace that as it has had a big impact and would fail the runout test.
