Hi, i was hoping for some advice. Just went out to the car this morning and noticed that the rear near side wheel was flat, I re inflated the tyre and then set of for a 30 minute drive. After parking up for an hour the tyre was deflating again. Took the car to kwik fit and turns out that the alloy has a crack in it.

Now my problem is where can I buy an alloy for the car today in surrey, preferably near kingston, bearing in mind it's a bank holiday? The car is an E46 M3. Any suggestions are welcome, I've already tried Coopers thames ditton, but the parts department is closed.

Secondly, is it also worth contacting BMW UK and seeing if they will compensate, I remember reading a few articles mentioning that the construction of the wheels were slightly shoddy.

Not a common occurance on E46 M3's afaik, probably due to pothole. Can't help on where to get one today, good luck.
