So I recently started the search for new rubbers all around on my 130i, decided to go non-RF and chose the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 after some research and what not.
Was very exited to finally feel the car with a new set of rubber and was hoping to be left with the feeling similar to renewing marriage vows after 30 years.
Had it done this morning, needles to say I was very restless with my car being in the hands of someone I don't know. So I get the car back after about 3-hours, quick inspection all around and notice allot of white tyer grease that hasn't been cleaned, no big deal really but it would have been nice if it was clean.
Set off and as soon as I reached 60km/h it felt as if the wheels was held on with cable ties alone, horrible vibration and rapid steering wheel jerking.
Returned to the garage, they removed the front wheels and it looked like they stuck as much lead as they could find on the inside of the rim, and the balancing machine indicating the wheel is not balanced at all?!
After this was fixed, and the oke who did it the first time was laughed at and joked with as if it was no big deal I left only to be attacked by the tyre pressure warning light, went to the petrol station and none of the tyres even close to spec, one of the rear tyres where around 1.9bar Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
So now I am worried that the alignment might have been screwed up as-well.. Car feels a-bit unstable at higher speeds.. I am really upset after paying allot of money and getting this type of service.. I feel cheated.
I chose this particular garage because they gave me a great price on the set. I will definitely not support them again though.. My car has to go in for a service in about a week or two, will have BMW check out the alignment and the balancing too..
Am I overreacting to this? Does faults like this slip trough sometimes and I might have just been the unlucky one?
