x5 Cracked alloy
Discussion
Hi All
Some advice from those in the know please:
Just had a call from my local BMW garage where my car is in for its MOT to be told that I have a cracked alloy that's failed the MOT. The car is under warranty from BMW but they won't cover it as it's 'outside their tolerances' and they'd like £750 quid (but that is fitted sir ...).
Waiting for the manager to call but I'm pretty cheesed off. The guy said 'well what can you expect with the potholes on UK roads sir?' But BMW make cars and sell them to drive on UK roads don't they?
Apparently not a manufacturers defect ...

I've had the car going on a year and it's a 59 plate with 20 inch wheels on runflats - the alloys are style 227s and there is this thread on honest john with a catalogue of cracked alloys on runflats:http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/?t=75339
The manager didn't want to budge on the phone so I've asked him to give me a discount on future works - he's coming back to me.
