I know, terrible, and even the M4 CSL has it. I guess it works, ugly as it is. I'll be keeping mine...

All M cars should have forged wheels! Even previous gen m-lites had forged wheels

Though if these wheels had direct impact with the kerb then I don't think even forged wheels would have saved them.

Calling dibs on the center caps.

While I agree I was going to say the same thing, being forged wouldn't have prevented wheel damage in this case.

It is definitely not standard to have forged wheels throughout the car industry tho! but I felt BMW should have kept their tradition of forged wheels for their M cars.

When we ordered our Ferrari Roma, forged wheels were also an option and not included as standard... but then again apple carplay was also a 6k AUD option

I’m sure they’ll throw on new wheels and list this on cars and bids soon. “Used 200 miles, just didn’t fit my lifestyle”

This.

Dealer might try to cover it up without reporting it to CarFax and hopefully someone is not paying a ADM for this one.

Yup. The rear bumper damage is probably from the wheel actually. The front bumper might have some light damage as well.

That car will never be the same so please give it to me 😆

It's hard to believe this kind of stuff still happens - you'd think that the dealership would limit who can move new / customer cars around, and ensure that those employees are trustworthy.

Unbelievable.

Someone is going to have a reduced salary for the next few months to pay back the damages or at lease pay for the excess.

That's at Sewell BMW of Grapevine - where I bought my G42. Can't wait to hear the details!

Yup, in my state, you don't need to disclose the damage if the repairs are under 3% of the MSRP... that could go a long way if you buy the parts at cost and don't charge yourself for labor... so you don't even have to be super-shady about it.

[RockChalkKU]

Hari-kiri. I'd do that too if I were that abomination.

So.. roughly $2,100 on this car..(3%).. even at cost they are over this.

Well it will be a blessing if the broken wheels took some of the brunt from the suspension. If the subframes are bent, this could easily be $8000-$12000 in damage, including a new steering rack, etc.

Somebody should be fired for that…

[ASAP]

looks like the car is more involving and full of feeling that most here thought lol

also what in gods name are those wheels made out of... paper?

and the dealer's best solution here was to put the car on the brake rotors? pls don't buy cars here

I knew it! I recognized the background; that's where I picked up my 5-series after a 7 month and 3 day wait!

It's not in inventory. So, either they had sold it and now have to deal with the angry buyer, or it's been pulled. I'm guessing there's damage that's not pictured and thus the ultimate cost is closer to $20k. I'd say you'd want an M School car before this.
