Of course! They are your rims, as it is your car. There is no "core" credit, and if there was it should be paid to you. But I'm 99% sure there isn't. If they hassle you pm me and I'll call them and cuss them out lol.

Hm, I'll ask them for it. The SA said they have to be shipped back to BMW but he'll talk to the manager. I'm going to try to get them I need 2 spares lol one for the front and one for the rear.

If you must use anti-seize, then you need to back down the applied torque by about 20-40% of the dry fastener torque specification. I don’t use anti-seize on these types of bolts and torque them to the manufacturers recommendation (which defaults to dry values when not specified). I wire brush the bolts if looking a little bad and if really bad you can run an ez-out through the bolt holes to clean them up as well. Keep in mind wheel lugs that are used on/off many times over the years should be replaced periodically. Also note worthy is, some manufacturers recommend replacing the brake caliper bolts every time they are taken off. Yeah but not many of us do that, but it is certainly a good idea to replace them every once in awhile. That is another good reason not to put anti-seize on brake caliper bolts. In some applications when it is allowed to use wet or dry conditions, the manufacturer will provide both torque specification values. When the manufacturer designs a fastener application they typically pick a torque value about 80% of the ultimate yield strength of the fastener. That value is typically a dry value with no lubricant or anti-seize. So the wet value will be typically about 20-40% less torque. So you can see it is entirely possible to exceed the yield strength of the fastener with anti-seize, unless you reduce the torque. OBTW, I used to be a Mechanical Engineer until I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express. Now I am a rock star. |

Went through a similar situation and got an unwanted education in the warranty terminology. Now I'm sure there's ways around it if the dealwer or BMW wanted to make an exception for the sake of customer satisfaction under some sort of accessions policy. |

Bottom line is you would sue the dealership for negligence and get additional compensation. |

Exactly, and I'm sure they would rather just hand over the wheels. Sorry Chester.

My car had 300 miles on it 3 weeks ago and I noticed stress cracks in the driver side mirror. Had to wait 2 weeks for a representative to look at it since the dealer is the intermediary. They agreed to replace it under warranty. Now its been a week waiting on parts. I am hoping to receive some "good will" and get a free oil change as well.

You seriously expect a free oil change with just a few hundred miles on the car? The first change isn't called for until 12~19,000 miles or one year - so perhaps if you had 7,500 miles...
