Just had all 4 tyres replaced on 430d xdrive msport gran coupe. I can't get wheels balanced as apparently all my wheels are slightly buckled. Car was fine before refitting. Could this be down to incorrect tyre fitting?

It sounds like it is down to buckled wheels actually.

Any tyre place can see this VERY easily as soon as the wheels are mounted on the wheel balancer rig.

Just because they were balanced before doesn't mean they were right, they could have worn out of balance or could have just had way too much weight added to counteract the wheel.

I’d take it somewhere else

Try to find somewhere that does road force balancing and can repair a buckled wheel.

If the wheels are buckled, it should be easy to spot when the wheel is on the balance machine - as them to show you. When one of mine was buckled it was easy to spot the point on the rim that had been bent.
