WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN DECEMBER 2020 WITH THIRTY THOUSAND MILES ON IT. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL BMW RIMS, BUT WE HAVE HAD TWO RIM FRACTURES ON TWO SEPARATE TIRES WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE HAD THE RIM REFURBISHED. THE SECOND EVENT WHICH WAS ON AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TIRE THE RIM FRACTURED IN THE CENTER AND DESTROYED THE TIRE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ON THESE TIRES BUT THERE ARE MANY REFURBISHED ONLINE FOR SALE AND SO I AM CONCERNED THESE ARE INFERIOR AND DANGEROUS RIMS. I WILL SUBMIT A PHOTO OF THE FRACTURED RIM FROM THE LAST EVENT. THANK YOU.
- Exterior lighting
INSTRUMENT GUAGES FOR SPEEDO AND TACH ARE NOT BACK LIT AND ARE NOT LEGIBLE UNDER DAYTIME DIM LIGHTING CONDITIONS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE NUMERALS DO NOT CONTRAST WITH THE DIAL AND NO LIGHT CONDITION WILL LIGHT THE DIALS ENOUGH TO SEE DURING THE DAY. THE DIALS APPEAR "BLACKED OUT"
