Rust on brake Hub, should I be worried?

nr1416 · 03-31-2014, 07:48 AM

My 328 has 20K KM on it and the rust on the hubs looks awful. Is this normal or should I bring it to the dealer and see if they can do anything under warranty?

Absolutely normal. Every car in the world looks like that.

Not when your hubs are aluminum...

Not normal. Mine started to get rusty only after a few thousand miles and my dealer JMK BMW cleaned them up and painted them. After 16,000 + miles they still look new. No rust ever came back

That's because your dealer painted them. I don't think they came from the factory painted.

I'm sorry to inform you, but all my BMWs had the same issue (4 total)... even my F30 with M Bakes started at 2K miles

Sucks! Why BMW does not make that part in aluminum is beyond me.

Cost.

But yes, it's normal for 99.9% of the cars on the road. Rust, it's what iron does.

Any quality aluminum paint after you wire brush the hub to get off what ever rust you can. Good luck
