Any products I could use to smoothen the scratch on rim of the wheel ?, make it less visible, till I can take it to the dealer to have it fix professionaly, boy it hurts, stupid low curb!No dents or warps only a scratch
Advise would be appreciated

While I was looking at the newsletter of Motor City chapter of BMWCCA I noticed there is a mobile alloy wheel repair company that services local BMW dealerships in SE MI. They claim that they will come to your home to service wheels - mobilewheelrepair.com
Good luck!

It's possible to sandpaper the scrach down and then use clear paint
on it.
But I would leave to procedure to a professional.
Actually my working pal had all his really badly damaged alu wheels
done and they almost look as new.

I use Testors Model paint and touched up my wheels and they matched really really good. I have a bottle right here in my drawer... matches BMW and MINI rim colors really well. Just make sure you clean off all the dirt from the scratch and slowly apply the paint. I use a Q-tip.
It doesnt repair the scratch but it makes it less visible...
