M313 Wheel Corrosion - Anyone else?

Did a quick google expecting a common theme but found very little, although sure I've seen something on here before?

My E92 is in for a service (well, vehicle check as the car has apparently decided it needs little attention) and I mentioned the corrosion (around the centre caps) to the service folks - question is, has anyone had the M313's replaced under warranty due to corrosion?

Thanks all - will update later with dealer comments

Is your car still within its original warranty?

If its still under 3 years old or was bought from a dealer with one years warranty you shouldnt have any issue claiming for new wheels or a full refrub

I had all 4 alloy wheels replaced under warranty twice now ! It just seems to be a common recurring fault with the 313's. Always seems to happen round the centre caps !

Mate not killing you're thread but if you look a few threads down there's 2 threads (one which I did & another ) about the same issue.


Bottom line is if it's under warranty e.g. From BMW or AUC you can get it done


It's a problem that happens on 313's to the point that a lot of the AUC cars at dealers are now being sold with fully sprayed 313 alloys as glass cut / diamond cut is cost too much / corrosion

Nothing to fret about, BMW will replace them if they are corroding from the centre

I'm in the middle of purchasing an auc car with the 313 wheels and 3 wheels have bad corrosion so they are getting sorted too
First thing I checked when I went to view the car after reading numerous threads on here
