Apparently not, but you never know I guess. Seller was great from start to finish. As well as the impeccable service history (all summarised on a spreadsheet with accompanying receipts since the car was new) - several new ‘spares’ with it - wipers, mats, filters and a brand new set of 19” BMW Performance alloy wheels exactly the same as those on the car (which themselves are totally unmarked) still sealed in boxes. When the prev owner ordered the wheels - he ordered 2 sets. Image
So the fault appeared just after you purchased the car - that is seriously bad luck and despite all the bits etc he may have know and just kept quiet.

The car sounds like a good one and this stuff can go on any car at any time - are the wheels 326's - I would be tempted to sell them and recover some of the outlay.

They will go for good money

Had bad experiences myself with Autobahn Halesowen which seemed at odds with their Google reviews. I'd stay well clear.

I am tempted - they are 313’s, exact spec as below and original price paid.

Definitely won’t be going again and will be naming & shaming them whenever possible

They will sell for £500 to £600 without tyres I would imagine so at least recovers the money spent to that bunch of shysters
