BOTH OF MY REAR ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE CRACKED WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS OCCURRING OR EVEN ANYTHING OTHER THAN NORMAL DRIVING. BOTH TIMES MY TIRES NEEDED REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED 20 CARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL. NOW WITH THIS BMW I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 WHEELS TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO MY REMAINING TWO WHEELS. IN MY DISCUSSIONS AT TIRE CENTERS THIS IS SAID TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMWS AND IN MY OPINION IS CONSUMER FRAUD. *TR
