While at the dealer today, getting my iDrive fixed I was asking my dealer about when my new dunlop RFs will be in (I'm getting a new set because of noise and wear - after a long fight with BMW Canada).

Anyway, the dealer told me that BMW Canada has new created a service bullentin for Canada that any customer complaining about the dunlop RFs with less than 40% wear will get a new set at no cost to the customer.

Summer is just around the corner

This is for BMW Canada ... which most likely will have no impact in your country.

Also, BMW Canada is replacing them with a new set of Dunlop RFs :thumbsdown:

What did you complain about exactly? My tyres seems to be slipping alot lately on dry road while turning, the DSC seems to kick in everytime. I wonder if my dealer would do the same.

That should be BMW China instead.
