Michelin Pilot Sport 4 warranty issues

[1230vani]

My dealer refusing to purchase MSP4 tires as they are not approved for my car! If i have any warranty claims on the car's suspension or anything remotely related they would not honor it. BS but that's what i was told, computer says no!

Why would you go to the dealer for tires anyway? Markup is huge, at least all the times I've been offered tires at the dealer (any, not just BMW).

I get all of my tires from Tirerack.com and have been for the past 10 years.

dealers excuse is as stupid as saying your choice of blinker fluid could void your wheels warranty.

Bcs they made a mistake a lost my 19" new (came with car) summer tires. They're nice about it so they would buy me new tires (with 30% discount applied) but i would have to pay for the difference bcs i need 20". They have an official list by BMW HQ (for Europe) and they have to stick to it.

Well alrighty then. That explains it. Then you are indeed at their mercy unless you can talk them into you signing a waiver that you so t make any claims in the future related to suspension.
Like Alan said... BS excuses.

Dealerships probably don't carry MPS4 so they just wanted to give you what was in stock(Pirellis, dunlops, etc). Probably just an excuse to not buy them for you.
