BMW road side assistance refused to change my flat tire today!!!
Its bad enough that i got a flat tire today on my way to work today. Then i call BMW assist. The tow truck comes and takes out my spare tire and says he cant put a 17 inch tire on a X5 that has 20s on it. So then i told him dont worry its fine and that the 4.8 has 20s stock and come with the same spare i do. So he calls up BMW roadside asks them what to do and they tell him to not change my tire because it will not match and will mess up my differential and DSC since it has X drive. He said the only thing we will do is tow it to the dealer. So i told him and BMW which was on the phone with him. To F#$K off and i changed it myself. Has anyone ever heard of this crap yet. I thinbk this is rediculous. WTF.

Brave guy, I'd say. Proabably not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Somehow, I get the feeling, youre not a happy guy once that Italian blood gets flowing. Scare him a bit Tony? Was he slowly backing away?
Sorry, that sucks.

I haven't heard of this before, but then again there's much I haven't heard before. As a business decision, a tow job to the dealer is more expensive than a tire change but BMW decided it was worth it rather than risk repairing damage due to a wheel mis-match. Seems to me BMW doesn't support 20's on a 4.4 for whatever reason.

Fulanito.
I know i have no luck at all lately. But this just tops it off. It was so stupid. Does you 4.8 have a 17in or 18in spare. 1 thing i do know is that the 4.8 definately does not have a 20in spare. And the guy was trying to tell me all bimmers have the same size spare as what came on the car. So then i said well the 4.4 came with 18 and 19 inch stock. then why do i have a 17in wheel as a spare. The guy disnt know what to say and he told me that the 4.8 has a 20 inch spare. I was so pist i just told him to leave and did it myself. If a different size wheel hurts and X5 then why do we have 17 inch spairs when the come with 18 and 19. Same with the 4.8 and 20s. It just doesnt make sense. I thought i was on candid camera or the show punked. thats how rediculous this was.
