Your not alone.
Mine were replaced last Tuesday.
Hate to bring my car to the dealer so soon. But no choice my hill assist and "stearing angle sensor" were malfunctioning too. B
As you can guess, wheels must be taken off the car. So not happy because of the scratches on my two totally scratch-free rear wheels
Its really not acceptable. Those bmw mechanics should know the 135 18" wheels are expensive. So why are they treating those wheels careless. Am I crazy or are there other people on the forum wanting totally scratch free wheels.

Yes I did complaint. They offered me a voucher for cleaning up my car inside, outside and wax.
I cant do anything more. So have to live with that.
