Wheel & tire insurance
I purchased my x5 with 19" with wheel and tire insurance. I bought 20" wheel and tire to change during the summer. I just found damage on one of the tires on the 20". Would Bmw will cover the 20" ?

Read your contract. I attached the back of mine for my M4. I did not take the coverage for the X5. Assuming it is the BMW coverage, OEM or OEM approved tires and wheels are covered (para 2d).
However... Only structural damage applies to tires; see Limitations of Coverage, para e & f. Paragraph f does not mention cosmetic damage to tires. But.... Never hurts to ask your dealer.

This isn't clear to me. But I thought the moment you changed your tires, your contract for the warranty ended. In this case, I suppose if you used the same tire, they can't tell, unless there's unique serial codes on the tires...
But then the BMW tire warranty stated there's a term on page 1, which isn't attached. This implies they'll continue to cover replacement tires subject to certain conditions (maybe you have to buy the proper brand or through dealer network?)

I would have gotten the wheel and tire insurance if it covered curb rash . But I am curious if you buy a second set of wheels and tires from BMW, say a winter set, if that warranty covers them. I moved from Germany and always would run a summer and winter set.

The policy applies to whatever wheel is installed on the vehicle, so yes on summer versus winter wheels. What is not really clear, is regarding non-OEM wheels. I think they would be covered as well, but would only be replaced with OEM approved wheels, so the real question is if the aftermarket wheel is BMW OEM approved; probably not, so you would get whatever OEM approved wheel that was most similar to the wheel on the vehicle.

I got this for my M4 and it was a waste. It took forever to get the dealer and representative to replace just one of my rims over the last two years. Basically the cost of the insurance was still more than the cost of two rims. Probably best just to pay as you go, and this is coming from someone that drives on the shitty streets of San Francisco.

I had 3 wheels replaced under the tire and wheel coverage. The SA was great at making sure it was covered.
I had another claim for 2 wheels with a not-so-interested SA, and it was denied. I was told that the wheels had to show an inpact point in order to be covered and the dealer agreed with it. Using that idiotic logic, if its out of wound, then it could be only two things: 1) impact or 2) a manufacturers defect. They said it was neither. |
