Rusty Rear Hubs

[andysat]

Still its a pi$$ poor effort from BMW shifting expensive cars that have rust on them!

Could be worse.....the car could leak!

I asked my local dealer and he said "No Chance" of them sanctioning a clean up! The disks however do seem more prone to rust tho. My new one was put away into the garage bone dry last Tuesday and they have a film of rust on them a week later!

This is a distinct contrast to my last E85 - it used to go away Oct and come out Feb and the disks were as shiny bright as they were when it was put away! Some steel has a better resistance against rust - Looks like not the stuff they have chosen for the discs.

I used hammerite on mine - good job, didnt really prep the surfaces much, still looks good

It's mostly caused by alloy wheel cleaner.

That stuff really goes for the whee lnuts as well.

Mine are in very good condition and nearly two years old. I don't use wheel cleaner.

Having said that I seen a 1er Coupe in my local dealers that was brand new and the rear hubs were a sight.

I would have been ashamed to put a car in a showroom looking like that.
