LOL! that was cute.
I suppose that's why BMW...
(a) discontinued the rim on all 2009 models,
(b) is dealing with THOUSANDS of lawsuits regarding the integrity of these rims
(c) employees have told me that this is a recurring and never ending issue and that the rims are undoubtably crap
and how about the 5-spoke airy M6 wheels? they don't have any issues...
and you can't tell me that ALL of these rims are cracking because owners drive their cars 'too hard'... that's ****ing ridiculous.
It's a 300+ hp machine... It's not MEANT to be driven like a mommy-mobile.
