Why BMW dealers excel over MB dealers..
I had called 3 MB dealers who are within a 1 hour radius of me to get my 19" wheels mouted and balanced and nobody wanted to give me the time of the day or even bother seeing if it was possible. Then I was reading a pamphlet on the 7 series BMW and i read that it had optional 20" wheels so I though.. hmm.. maybe they can install it.. and I called the BMW dealer who is only 5 mins from me and explained to them my situation and within 1 hour they had my wheels mounted and balanced.. They even did a reverse wheel install because of polished lip on my wheels.. they did a great job and were very courteous.
Only if MBUSA was like that.. even if you spent a **** load of money buying cars from them.. they don't care or support you as an enthusiast.

Lets see how your wheel bearings go in the long run. Body scraping and other suspension problems. I bet the guy who sold you the wheels didnt care about that.

Why couldn't you just go to a regular tire shop like Firestone? And don't think MBUSA is less supportive than BMWNA. If you have a problem with a dealer, BMWNA usually leaves you on your own. "BMW dealers are independent franchises" is the most frequently quoted line.
