Now i have done this many times and never had any problems. Took the car through auto car wash today, and i had a little trouble getting the wheels just ride on the auto-sensor thing for the car wash. Not a big thing i assume. Wash is done, and i start drying the car off with a towel, i notice insane dings on my front driver side rim? Where did this come from, it had to have been the car wash thing. Damn it! cant win for losing!

Anyone else "effed" their rims from a Auto-Wash?

too solid

not yet, and i take it through at least 2-3 times a week. but everytime i take it through im nervous and extremely cautious. sometimes it hurts and takes time to build the courage to go through, lol. but when its -5 who wants to clean it yourself or take it through a shitty touchless! once i get my summer set up only touchless for me, even though ill probably have to hand wash it afterwards.
i feel your pain though. happened to me on one of my old rides the first wash after installing the new wheels. devistating lol.

i have different stocks then you though, i assume you have the 243 style wheels. i have the 135m style. not to sure which wheel sticks out further. but i might have to lay off the tracked car washes from now on

I'll have had my e60 a year from new soon, thus far I have only hand washed, I would suggest the best way to avoid autowash dings is to take time out to do it by hand, brushless autowash would be my only choice but the nearest one is 30 miles from home so by the time i drove there and back the car would be dirty all over and need handwashing, sorry but to me it's a no brainer... do it yourself.

Yep yep. Wash it yourself.

Take some time and DIY it

I do so cause when my bros borrow my car

I'll see if they messed up anything, you broke it you bought it

And you will have peace of mind after your done

and lets not forget a clean and shiny car
