Hi together,

so I dropped by this post:

https://www.instagram.com/stories/hi...6565707612280/

and she basically has the issue that the rims on the front are too small, the brake caliper touches the rim (BMW says its because of rocks which get caught there, well show me a road without any rocks) and it literally scratches the complete inside of the wheel.

Do you guys experience the same issue (which has the 18/19 setup) ?

Also BMW just doesn't give a damn about her and doesn't help her at all, imo this is a warranty case as it seems the 18 are not made for this brake size...

Interesting to see if the caliper clearance is an issue with the 18" Front wheel. F87C has the same issue with the 19" Front wheels. Rocks will get stuck and scratch the inner barrel. Anyone has a picture of 824M wheel showing the caliper clearance?

story is unavailable, most calipers have a tight clearance unless you run really large wheels in sports cars.

I had the same issue viewing. You can view her story by going directly to instagram and searching her name. Then select the "small rims" story.

Yep before I sold my set one of the fronts had a good scratch in the finish. And that was with 1800 miles on them.

Never had this issue in my M2C.

Maybe defective setup in your case?

I had this issue with 788M and 763M wheels. No issue with 437M and 666M. Look at here and more here

I have the 788M wheels and no issues here.
I think some folks probably needed some adjustment or got faulty wheels/setup.

"some adjustment" or "faulty wheels"

This has been an on-going "issue" since the F80 came out. The clearance between the brakes and wheels is too tight, simple as that. Both of my stock 18s have the same scoring as the woman above and many other owners (also with CCBs and 19s), but I'm not making hundreds of instagram stories about it. That woman seems annoying as fuck. BMW is not going to do anything about it, why would they.

Sorry if the Link didn't work !

Here to her Instagram Profile and then choose the story highlight "small rims"

anyway, this seems to be an issue since the F80...Why shouldn't BMW do anything about it? I mean, it's obvious it's a design fail when with normal driving you screw your complete rim...or not?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but spending 100k on a car with such an issue I do understand her that she is utterly pissed...

Both of my front wheels are terribly scratched from rocks getting caught between the wheel and caliper.

This... I know it sucks, but it's nothing new; dating back to the early days of the F8x. The caliper-to-barrel clearance is very tight; rocks can get stuck and cause scoring of the bore.

What exactly do you want BMW to do about it? What repairs would you expect?

This is the way the car was certified and signed off. It is 100% legal.

They will not give you an inch bigger rims at the dealer, well, they might if you like your nose brown, I guess. They will not pay their wheel supplier to R&D new rims just because of you or some others who have scored barrels. They will also not call Brembo to supply them with smaller brake calipers.

[Scorp!on]

Ok all fair points, but you do understand that people gets angry af when purchasing a car, especially in this price range, where then are obvious design fails which causes damage and maybe, you never know, also an accident or something because of destroyed brakes.

I do understand that it's 100% legal and signed off like that, but it's also quiet dumb from BMW giving their costumer something like this, at this point make the minimum wheel siz1 19" and charge a little more from the beginning.

I'm used to better work from BMW, this is unaccaptable imo.
And i'm not even the one having this issue, but obviuosly other people do (i have the 19/20" setup)

[mzcp]

Better clearance with 20 (666M) vs 19 (763M) And no I didn't have faulty wheels or suspension

Stop complaining my lady or go drive hour EV car.

As I said, no issues here and have been driving M2C since 2018.

Can you even read, you dumb fuck? I was not in either of my posts complaining about the damage on my own wheels.

No one gives a shit about your M2C.

I can't help it that there are people who cannot read properly, call me names and accuse me of things that I have never done.

Children! Let's all play nice here, OK? Go have a cookie, your blood sugar is low.

Geez. Someone needs a time-out. LOL

You’re a sample size of 1, hardly representative… Also, the people complaining may be in the minority but I have seen multiple forum members complain (particularly those with CCBs) about rocks getting stuck and scoring their barrel. It’s not a “faulty” wheel or a “adjustment” issue, it’s clearance (and luck or bad luck) issue.
