Have a good look, it may be a cracked wheel that’s lost the tyres pressure, they usually go on the inside rim :(

I will do thanks Rob ,cant see much without taking wheel off so ill check when i do ,at the mo just a nick in outside of rim & tyre wont inflate ,so i suspect it might well be a crack on inside or hopefully a puncture i cant see .cheers
 
Not the best start. :cry: Hopefully as soon as she's back on the road twill all be forgot. :wink:
 
That's bad luck,I would get back to the pot hole, take photos and try and claim off the council. What wheels do you have ?

After me pitching for the 296’s :cry:

Hopefully just a puncture and the rims ok :thumbsup:
 
Of course the council will tell you that they inspected that road within the required period - if they do (as i suspect they will) ask for evidence of the inspection.
 
What a pain!

Your day started so well too. I hope you can get your wheel/tyre sorted painlessly. :thumbsup:

Then you can enjoy your Z4. :driving:
