My Ride: April 2007 520D M Sport LCI. Automatic. Sunroof. BMW Bluetooth. Deep Sea Blue Metallic, Natural Brown Leather.
Noticed the last time I washed the car that an area on the back driver's side alloy has lost lacquer. On the flattest part of the edge of the rim.....
None of the alloys have been kerbed, and are more or less perfect (apart from some tar), so this is REALLY pissing me off.
The car is only 9 months old - do you think this should be covered by warranty?

Definately - especially if there is no evidence of kerbing. Which alloys do you have?

So if it is not your fault you should have no problem getting them replaced.

My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
Since the car is so new and there is no damage to the wheels I'm sure that BMW would agree to fixx the problem, they'll respray them and they should be good as new.........
