Would be good to collate everyone who has the issue, and also their wheel type. So far I'm seeing a mix of 225's and 230's.

So am I right in thinking no-one out there has this issue on 18" wheels?

Also if you have damage what is your build date? Interested to see if these are all older cars (mine is late 06) - that might indicate that BMW have realised the problem and strengthened the wheels on newer cars.

I don't know what to do moving forward - do I have 2 new rears (paid for or otherwise), put runflats on and risk more damage? Or get the wheels and replace all 4 with non-rfts? OR, buy 4 18" wheels on the assumption they don't suffer the problem?
