Hi All, We recently took our 2011 116i 'Performance Edition' to Bluebell Crewe to have new tyres fitted (yes, they were expensive but were the only tyres of that size available in the UK - for some reason Bridgestone have stopped making them) and upon returning we found the wheel centres were absolutely mashed and the lacquer was peeling as per the attached photos'. I have contacted Bluebell and they were dismissive and arrogant (welcome to BMW dealers) and indicated that they thought I'd had a cheap re-cover and it was peeling, either that it was down to corrosion - the pictures are pretty clear that there is no corrosion - the car is only 3 1/2 yrs old! After some reading on line I find that using some highly alkaline cleaners can affect both wheel hubs and wheel lacquer leading to peeling. I have evidence of both but BMW refuse to discuss it absolving themselves of all responsibility - does anyone on the forum or in the club have similar experience? Any comments would be welcome.
