End Of Lease Question, Help!

childofbodom27 · 03-24-2010, 06:28 PM

I finally found a good deal for the 225/40/18 runflats but 1 of them has had a puncture that has been patched, will bmw still accept it during the inspection? That is if they even see it. What are the chances they will not accept it. Its got 70% thread and in good condition.

If it's the correct OE matching tire, you should be fine even if it is patched.

dimabimmer · 03-24-2010, 06:33 PM

how would they see it is patched? is it patched from inside?

J BONE · 03-24-2010, 06:38 PM

I would give it a shot, esp if you can get a good deal on a set of run flats

I think you'll be fine - but if they do see the patch (which I doubt) they could give you hard time about it.

NOPE, they will not know. i had a hole in one of my runflats a week before my lease return and had it patched, they never said anything.

I turned in a lease X3 with a cut/gash on the sidewall. I super-glued it (still noticeable). They never spotted it.

You're fine, and tbh if they CPO they'll probably put new tires on it anyways.
