Today I got the first scratch on my 166 rims. Any suggestion on how to fix it. Does it exist any original BMW paint to cover a little the scratch. Guess that some of M5 owners had this problem before and know which is the best way to get it fixed.

you can contact bbs directly and they have a silver polish (like a nail polish) which matches the colour of the 166 wheels.

Not sure if this is directly being very helpful but....as far as I am aware BBS have been declared bankrupt and are no longer i business. Any brand new BBS items that can be bought is likely to be surpluss stock ie: left over....which could work both ways by either making it very expensive or perhaps even cheap to purchase as it is liquidated stock.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong?

BBS bankrupt? Really? but they like supply all the OEM wheels!
not doing to bad for a bankrupt company hey!@Marco
Sorry to hear about the scratch, but it is a little inevitable. Other than the advice given above, I would only suggest doing it at the end of the season if you are switch to a winter set-up. I am planning on getting mine repaired at the end of the summer season and fully cleaned up before being stored for winter.
