Re: My F30 Mod today
Care to share what tyres you were on and made where when you got the 'wrong wrong' sound?
Glad to hear that you got it sorted out eventually abeit an expensive experience.

After getting the sound, i made an appointment with pml only to hear that they claim i have changed to aftermarket rims. I tot it was bullshit initially and blast off thinking its another pml "powerful smoke-bomb after sales service again". I remember the pml guy call charlie mentioned on the material and composite used on Original Rim hence muting the sound/vibration. Next I went after the rim distributor and try to make a claim. They were good and let me test a new rim, as expected it gave the same sound the next day morning. Determined to retify the horrendous sound, I spent another 1k odd to change all original brake pads and brake disc. Again it didnt work even after i run in the brakes.
Knowing i have done almost everything except changing back to original rim. I went for the plunge and bought M rim 18" with new tyres. Voila and it worked... more story goes on till I decided to give a try again on aftermarket rim but this time full forge rim 19". It went well too.. Long and tedious way of knowing how the sound came from.....

no matter one bro, best to complain to AD is when the particular problem is oem, not altered or modified, else u cant blame them for not honoring the warranty or even bother checking
wheels r subjective to individuals and also their budgets ma, some can spend so much just for the nice shoes kekekeke some love Bata while some insist on LVs or Guccis only whahahhahahaaa

Re: My F30 Mod today
Btw I'm not saying Bretons are lousy. Just that the material they use now are cast hence producing the sound. Perhaps Bretons forge or form flowing cast(dunno if Breytons have it anot) dun have sound issue. I wonder Oem BMW wheels are what kind of cast. Issit the same as bbs? Anyone?

Oem wheels have one primary advantage, they dun need centre O rings to ensure fit, they r tailored to. Usual supplies r rubber type that might erode over time and the cushioning might not be that awesome when u talk abt high heat during high speed runs.
The material should be fine unless its sub grade, its more into the process of forming such wheels. A stamp and go vs a detailed process will be different. I dun face problems with Taiwan rims in the past when I have usual Jap rides, but certain drives like STI, the S4 etc are more sensitive due to their AWD nature, thus a proper cast rim or best forged is better.
