CURB SCRATCH!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

krndanic307 · 01-28-2006, 10:58 PM

Yesterday I was coming out of my GF's cousins house parking and the driveway was really small. At first the car went up the curb and since the car was heavy it drifted out. So at the end I got a scratch in my left passenger side wheel. I have the tire/wheel protection and I'm planning to take it to the dealer on monday... As you guys know (people from LA) there's a meet on wednesday do you guys think I could get it done by wednesday? What do they do with that wheel? Does BMW get me a new wheel? or do they just fix it?

Lost Rider · 01-29-2006, 12:04 AM

I don't think any tire/wheel protection is going to replace a wheel because of a scratch.

Good luck with that one.

quietly: (i heard those other socal guys talking about if you came to the meet with a scratch on your wheel they wouldn't think you were cool anymore, and that your BMW sucks)

sorry, j/k

Better question is.... what were you doing at your gf's cousins house that you left in such a careless hurry... hmmmmmm>>>> Inquiring minds want to know.. (as well as the warranty people)

espo · 01-29-2006, 06:02 AM

Wheel/Tire protection will NOT cover a scratch on the rim cause by a curb since it was your fault..

So you should be taken out back and shot for doing that kind of damage to a BMW

SteveMD · 01-29-2006, 07:57 AM

Interesting. What does the Wheel/Tire insurance cover? A dinged rim due to a pothole? A nail in the sidewall? How much did you pay?

Broken1 · 01-29-2006, 08:02 AM

Lets see photo's. Depending on how servere the scratch is - the repair advice differs! (and we are a photo mad bunch) :-)

BMWE90LOVER · 01-29-2006, 08:59 AM

dude, post pics. I dont think that a tire/wheel protection covers this sort of thing. There is a thread on how to fix it yourself.

No the tire/ wheel protection will not cover the scratch, it is inteded for just what SteveMD said nails, potholes, other damage that was not caused as a direct result of the drivers neglegence.

eleven24 · 01-29-2006, 10:11 AM

Here's the solution...

Find the biggest pothole you can, and make sure the scratched tire slams into it, denting the rim. Then goto the dealer and get a new one.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic... or am I?

siriusinvestor · 01-29-2006, 10:24 AM

Trust me wheel scratches are bound to happend, I have the 330i with SP. I scratched my front right wheel 2 hrs after I got my car trying to parallel park.

krndanic307 · 01-29-2006, 02:10 PM

The Dealer told me that the tire/wheel protection covers everything such as curb scratches, flat tires, dented rims, and all that. That's the main reason I got it for. Other than that... Yesterday when I called the dealer I told them that I had a Curb scratch on my wheel and I have the tire/wheel protection, they told me to call back on monday and make an appoiment because the saturdays are only for appoiments.

Man I can't believe I missed this post! Sorry to hear that krndanic307

Dayum I didn't know your wheel protection covered that man! That's awesome! :rocks: We'll have to give you a little "lip" on Wednesday when we do the Curry meet. j/k

Hahahaha I really do need one! Man... I can't believe I got a curb scratch! It was really dumb! freaking bmw's! why gotta be so heavy! :mad: :mad: . When I was right about to put it in Neutral to let the car roll back down! it slid down and stratched my wheel!! I wasn't leaving in a rush but I was tired. It was at 12:30 a.m. And the parking lot is small. Well I'm not sure now if they'll cover it but i'm really sure that the person who sold me the tire/wheel protection said that it covers curb scratch. Hope it does!!! right now after all this posts i'm in a big doubt!

BTW how much do you guys think it'll cost to fix it? It's only a 1 INCH line you can barely tell when you're looking at the wheel but IT really bugs the shit out of me!

Artz 330 · 01-29-2006, 02:44 PM

I scratched mine right rear after i had it 2 days.

Do this http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/w...uff-repair.htm its easy...

krndanic307 · 01-29-2006, 02:48 PM

I'm really anal, and I did that with my TSX. I want it have done perfectly! =D it's a bmw ;]. Im going to call tomorrow my Service apartment and check if the tire/wheel protection covers it.

not if you don't hit things with your car

BMW F22 · 01-30-2006, 01:30 AM

I believe they will try to remove the scratch. I dont know whether they will replace it if they cant remove it.

marzapan81 · 01-30-2006, 09:45 PM

Hey Krn.... can you let me know what the dealer said. .. i got the tire/rim warrenty too. I am under the impression from my Sales person that it does cover scratches if i hit the curb. I got mine on the first day, but i havent borthered dealing with it yet. I thought i'd wait awhile just in case.

freaking bmw ??

Grow up and take responsibility for YOUR actions.
Do you realize how stupid you sound for trying to blame the "heaviness" of a car for your own mistake.
Then you confirm that you're a brat by stating that the damage YOU caused is barely noticeable.
Wow. Grow up.
All this discussion over a 1 inch barely noticeable scratch on you wheel.
