I own this 2016 vehicle for 2.5 year (2018 to 2021), I had to change wheels due to spontaneous cracks on the wheels due to normal driving conditions. Also wheel separate from tire, and sudden tire pressure loss happens even falling into small potholes. I already had to change 2 front wheels and 3 tires in two years and it happened again after falling into a small pot hole. This is very unsafe. 20" bmw rims wheels 648m g11 g12 750i g30 OEM factory 7/5 series.
