Update from dealer. my new alloys are now due in Germany on 6th June, then a few days to be delivered to UK, so hope i get a call early next week.

Dealer has approx 70 sets of replacements on order. makes you think how many
more are actually faulty.

Keep updated with any news of date changes,as used to them now

I have same issue as well, just waiting for response from BMW

[Big geordie]

Nyalpine 90. Only response you want from dealer is that he will order you a new set immediatley with no further discussions required,just as mine did, but ufortunatley a long wait but worth it in long run.

i have 622, i reached out to BMW NA they told me i have go thru bmw service dept.

[Tjalle]

Very interesting: Supplier producing both 310:s and 622:s - which make sense.Possibly screw up clear coat process.

[nyalpine90]

I just spoke with my SA, another SA is involve and waiting for BMW NA to give an answer to this issue. I should be getting a response tomorrow.

anyone else has an update?

[Big geordie]

have just been informed by dealer that my 2 rear alloys are now in stock. waiting for delivery date for 2 front alloys.

Anyone explain that scenario.

[Big geordie]

Scenario solved

BMW all sales are up. probably reason we can,t get our replacement alloys, as bmw seem only interested in selling new cars, and not give a hoot, to loyal customers once we have paid our hard earned cash on delivery.

Wheels are made in batches, so likely one size (front or rear) will reach the distribution center before the other

[Big geordie]

E90FLEET. As you say front and back alloys are made seperatley, but what is point of delivering back wheels without front one,s. no use to anyone, can,t even get a date for my front one,s to go with rear one,s which have been in stock now over a week. but wot the hell just been waiting 5 months to date. Hope BMW reading this !!!!!!

[CWL21]

Had same issue on all 4 of my X5 333 wheels. Took about 6 months to get the replacements.

[Big geordie]

suprise suprise. my alloys that were due on 25th, are now due to leave Germany on 29th this month. now well beyond a joke, starting to get embarrasing when i visit dealer for update. loosing the love for BMW.s. its only five months waiting, but how many new cars have been sold with same alloys.:mad025 9:

[nyalpine90]

its been over a month now and i havent heard anything from bmw. I made few attempts in contacting them, no luck yet. Seems like I have to call BMW NA put pressure on them.
The rims discoloration or pitting is getting worse.

[Big geordie]

Nayalpie90. The dealer you bought vehicle from should be sorting problem out for you, and not yourself. Or do BMW not give a s...t once they have got your cash. My two missing alloys that were due in on 25th June which was confirmed in writing are now due into Germany 29th then shipped to UK, not holding breath though

How,s everybody else getting on with complaints with respective dealers mad0259:. And how many new vehicles have been sold with same alloys while we wait for our replacements. BMW just want sales.

[Chopper45]

My replacement alloys are with the dealer. Hoping to do the Mppk 30D upgrade at some time as changing the alloys next week.

[Big geordie]

at last alloys with dealer.getting fitted on monday. hope all goes well and BMW HAVE SOLVED DEFECT PROBLEMS.
