BMW Tire and Wheel protection
Hi all, I saw this has been talked about before, but couldn't find any recent ones (just in case anything's changed). So what's your guys experience with taking your wheels to BMW for curb rash? I have the wheel protection and have two wheels scratched due to a pot hole I hit on the road, but the tire itself was not damaged. Did the wheel protection give you guys a hard time?
Also, have you guys had issues with the warranty not covering your tires if you get nails in them? My wheel protection is about to expire and I need new tires, so I'm thinking my tires are going to run over some nails soon |

I was told from my Sales guy to not get "lucky" and roll over all of them, and don't wait until it's too worn. This protection doesn't cover scratches, only if the wheel dented. I haven't used BMW's protection plan as it's an over priced version of Americas Tire/Discount Tires protection plan. 200 vs 800ish?

Just remember, the middle part is repairable. Shoulder is not.

It will be quite easy to get a new tire as long as there is a nail in it. Getting a new wheel will be very hard. Dents, bends, bulges, chips and most cracks will only be repaired. They push back very hard on this. You won't get a new wheel unless big chunks of the rim are missing. IMO, the tire and wheel protection package from the dealer is a theft!

The damage needs to make your car unsafe for a claim. I hit a pothole and it bubbled the sidewall...that was covered.
My SA also said you have to be very persistent that "that's not safe to drive on" if you do hurt a rim.
