Wheel Rim problem #1

The contact owns a 2009 BMW X5. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when the instrument panel illuminated for the tpms monitor. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that front side driver's side rim had a stressed crack that was causing a deflated tire. The rim and tire was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 71000.

Wheel problem #2

Sir, BMW installs runflats on all their cars. On this X5 I've replaced these tires 3 or 4 times at my own expense as runflats either get puncture or leak and one can't replace @3/32 oly one. These tires are defective and have not served this SUV well. In fact, my wife's bm@ 535xi I did the same and threw out oem tires with new michelin and spare. Bridgestone has a warrranty if within 3yrs they will replace @ very large prorated discount. I've spent $270 each time plus headaches of breaking down in phila or in nyc on way to pick up wife from jfk @ midnite. File size is over 5gb so how do I load it???.
