Tire mounting guy found a crack in my 124 the other day. Dealership told me it'd be around $500 for a factory replacement, but they(Seattle BMW) were kind enough to suggest getting it repaired. Ended up costing me about 1 day and $100 to get the wheel repair work done. Much cheaper than getting a new wheel. Phew!

Straightening a slightly bent wheel is understandable. I'm surprised a BMW Center is willing to repair an alloy or aluminum wheel that was stressed enough to show a crack. Consider loading a corner wheel at close to 1,000 lbs during a emergency maneuver, especially with W-rated or stickier summer tires, or hitting a bump on a highway at 80 mph.
