Do they plan on replacing your wheels once the fix is available? My front right wheel has been damaged in two spots and I only have 800 miles on the car.

Damn I'm not looking forward to this... Already need a new windshield (road incident, not BMW design flaw) and only have 300 miles

Speaking of which, I'm hoping this info that CSanto's dealer has re a fix is positive. It'll be one less thing to worry about. Scratched/gouged wheels on a 100k car just isn't my thing. 54 days and counting for mine and I think it goes into production mid-May. Fingers crossed.

Those are great wheels and yes, judging from the pic, looks like a fair bit more room. Wise choice.

Looks great! I ordered BC Forged wheels after reading a lot of positive reviews. I figured they'd be worth a try, but if there are clearance concerns when test-fit I'll give a look at the HRE lineup.

I had my car in for another matter today and I asked about this wheel issue, of which I am a victim. I was told that their BMW regional rep was in last week and made aware of this (my) wheel issue. Apparently their response was that BMW would replace the wheels once with no further consideration, and would require the damaged wheels in return. The only other information I have is that my dealership's regional rep is out of Minneapolis, MN.
The feeling I got was that my dealership is not going to go to bat for me on this, and will require further action on my part. I'm not sure where to go from here. |

Here is my car- brand new- only 80 miles. My service managed called the BMW rep who said they haven't heard of an issue - I'm pissed- I spent 100k and have gouges like this. This is BS

Sorry to hear that! It's ridiculous that BMW thought it was okay to work under such tight tolerances.

We did some measurement on the BC Forged 19inch Monoblock Wheel vs the Carbon Ceramic Brakes and started a new thread. (Owners can find it easier, hope it help!)

OP was supposed to hear back with a resolution this Monday/Tuesday. I'm wondering if the resolution was "we'll paint them" and he didn't accept it so the saga continues. I now am sure my car won't have any fix, as the build is complete, still I don't want to have this be an issue when I finally take delivery. Fingers have been crossed for an engineering solution for weeks now..

Quite frankly no expense or very, very heavily subsidized 20s is my expectation. The wheels already cost $1200 and this isn't normal wear and tear.
Welp, let's see what happens!! (in the meantime, I'm going to Sharpie the barrel or use shoe polish so it's not immediately evident to my eye) |

Next steps
Hi all,
Conclusion: my dealer was excellent batted for me fully......I am putting my Oct 2014 F80 back in and I have now a new build order on a new F80 exactly the same without CCB.......fix not yet announced but it will be 20" on new cars at some time in coming months.......However because our F8x cars have not been homologated with 20" at best it can only be aftermarket retrofit. How many M3/4 with CCB's ....1000+ .....As a wild guess. Can't imagine enthusiasts want the 20's IMO.......I am an enthusiast. Looked around at other stuff this week....RS4, C63, Jaguar, 911 Carrera, even a Macan Turbo!...F80 still makes sense for me! |

This really sucks. Eventually I will be in the hole another 5k+ because I'll get a set of wheels that will have more clearance. Shame on BMW. |
