Well it finally happened. I was backing out of the bank parking lot the other day and I turned too sharply and curbed my right front rim. It's not horrible, but is not good, about a 2-3" mark on the rim. I'd like to get it fixed, but a) don't know where I could take it and b) don't have any idea how much it would cost. Does anybody have any reputable recommendations as to where I could take it?

Your local BMW Dealer SA may provide the names of local shops they use or they may even have "service specials" advertised on their website like mine does:

vikingshelmut,


+2 on what luigi524td said, My dealer actually scuffed my two left rims last time they had it on the rack, took it back the next day and they had a service come in and they looked great!

Check with you local dealer.

U could always do it yourself. There are several kits out there. I know bavauto.com sells a kit.I think there might a diy in the forum. I was thinking of doing my wheels myself.

Wow, I want to be near your dealer! They have both a remote start feature (which I'd love) and a wheel repair special! My dealer doesn't have any of that :-(
