Screw in tire

nasdaq100 · 09-27-2014, 10:22 AM

Hi guys,
I feel really pissed off, I got a big screw on my rear right tire.
Can I change only one or I have to change both side ? I have 3000 km
Thanks for your help.

They likely can plug it and patch it from the inside. Perfectly fine if you don't track the car. Take it to a reputable tire shop and they can likely fix it for only a few bucks.

Don't sweat it! I caught one in less than 150 miles on the 4th day of owning my car . Here's proof lol! It can be patched up perfectly fine on that location, you don't need a new tire but if you catch that screw further by the sidewall then you would need one

Wow that looks more like a bolt vs a screw! Possibly a 1/4". Let us know if it is able to be patched. Good luck!

It cannot be patched, its to big and to deep. And no choice i have to go to the dealer because its a specific tire for the F8X.
Thanks for your post

Yep you got screwed big time.

That's massive. I wouldn't want that flying out at 80, the size of that makes it incredibly dangerous if it flew out.

Thanks for your post

Curious - would this be covered by BMW Tire and Wheel Protection if you had it?

Still wondering if it is worth buying...?

if you dont track your car then just replace your tire and not 2 it wont make a difference..... of topic what part of france are you from I would love to see your car

Lups · 09-27-2014, 07:39 PM

Yup, it can be fixed. I had one too.

Thanks for your post

Did they removed the tire to check to see if the puncture is over 1/4" in diameter?

I don't know if it worth to get it in this case, because in this situation I don't think is under warranty. I have the maintenance contract without tires so I don't know

I will check at the dealer tomorrow because I went to a tires store and I didn't want them to touch my car... I you saw the guy you would feel the same

Revartr · 09-29-2014, 09:57 AM

That doesn't look too big to patch at all. And what do you mean it's "too deep" to plug/patch? How deep the object is has nothing to do with whether or not it can plugged or patched, considering once it penetrates through to the inside of the tire, it doesn't even make a difference.

Just to update you because you were really nice with your advices, i had to change the tire, at BMW France they never patched tires on M cars... So a bit more than 400 Euros but its fine now she has a new shoe

BTW, I took the opportunity to order the M performance rear carbon diffuser , i will get it in 10 days

SteveSpy · 10-01-2014, 10:52 AM

Aren't we all glad we bought tire insurance!!

Quand t'as acheté la voiture ont-ils offert de te vendre de l'assurance pour tes pneus? Moi oui, et je l'ai acheté. $1,200 pour 4 ans de protection contre les clous etc. Ils installent un nouveau pneu si nécéssaire et ça ne t'aurai pas coûté un sou.

En France nous ne sommes pas aussi bien traité qu'aux US .. La M4 coute au moins 100.000€ (126.000 USD) avec les options et la taxe écologique et en plus on doit acheter le contrat de maintenance 4 ans ou 80.000km qui coute 5500€ (6900 USD) qui ne comprend pas les pneus. Je ne crois pas que l'assurance pneu soit disponible ici.

Tout est plus cher, produits, taxes... Je veux partir!!!!
