They said it was a real problem with BMW and they were replacing lots of rims under warranty. Contact your dealer.

yep, i pretty much had no choice. spoke with my salesman, his manager, and bmwusa customer service. i was pretty much told it wasnt there when i bought it, but we will work with you... bmw customer service said they were shocked the dealer offered to sell it to me for 500. retail was 960 and about 100 to overnight it to me. it was a cpo and the dealer said he trusted his guys did a thorough inspection. im positive i didnt hit anything, especially not hard enough to cause 2 cracks, but oh well. heres a couple pics
