williams11 · 11-15-2009, 02:30 PM

Hi folks
Ive a 2005 e90 320d and ive got a problem with the alloys . Around each nut on each wheel they are bubbling and flaking . Now before i contact bmw does anyone know the state of play with the corrision warrenty . Should i be covered ?
thanks in advance

Probably caused by airguns when your tyres have been changed. Doubt you will have a warranty case. Nothing ventured, nothing gained though.

2005 car??? No chance. Zilch.

williams11 · 11-15-2009, 03:03 PM

well going to have go and shall report back . I would have thought that it would have been covered under the corrision warrenty , isnt that 5 years or somthing. The airgun theory is one i hadnt thought off , interesting .

Use hand tools only to remove & refit wheels.
