Guys,
Had the usual probs with Dunlop run flats-wearing on inside. My claim was initially dismissed by the dealer and BMW Australia claiming low tyre pressue was the cause. Then after joining your website, armed myself with the TSB and other info. gave BMW Aust another chance- completely different response so that I would not pursue further- they replaced tyres and did a wheel alignment.
I got Dunlops again but lets see if they have improved,
Thanks Guys,
Dilhan

I just had a similar experience with my dealer here in the US, except that there was no initial denial. I just took my car in for its 1st service (at 15,5000 mi) and complained about noise and vibrarion in the wheels. When the called me to say the car was ready, they told me that they put new tires on - I never even had to ask...

Hey Guess What??

Have been noticing a noisy oscilating sound on the right front tyre on my 6 month old 530i Sport!! Went to Brisbane BMW (Australia) and they said it's because of my low tyre pressure!!! Sound familiar??? They said was I checking them weekly???

Is there a chance you could forward details to me on how you got yours replaced?

:thumbsdown:
