BMW dealer telling me BMW won't cover wheels because of Ceramic Coating??

The dealer gets reimbursed for the rims by from BMW NA. If BMW NA determines that the rims have some sort of coating the dealership runs the risk of not getting reimbursed. BMW NA has no idea what products were used in the process of applying the ceramic coating.

It's extremely odd for two rims on the same car to have peeling clearcoat. It's a red flag for sure.
That's the thing. If it's the coating failing, why aren't all 4 wheels peeling?
 
Pay up the *** for one of those 🤣
You cant say that here anymore. Try donkey the next time.

Folks skip the profanity. Substituting gibberish for part of the word is bypassing the profanity filter.

I have faith everyone here can make their point without using vulgarity.

This is a CPO? Does CPO cover rims? If CPO I think you may have an argument that it's neglect from the prior owner or poor repair since they're both on the same side of the vehicle.
CPO doesn't cover cosmetic issues. The cars still under factory warranty. I might take it in to another BMW dealership before factory warranty expires. It's unlikely they flagged vin or made notes for something so trivial.
 
Well, things just go worse. It looks like the dealership scrapped off the paint on one of the rear wheels. I took pictures of all 4 wheels before I took the car in. Zoom in on the first picture and look at the two spokes in between the valve stem cap. You see nothing that looks like scrapped off the clear coat.

Here you are, being an honest customer, advising that all you've done is apply ceramic coating which is completely innocuous and causes no harm to have them treat you like this. It FORCES you to lie when you're dealing with unscrupulous or ignorant people.

It's not a lie to omit information that bears no relevance.

"The finish on my wheels is peeling and I feel that this should be covered under my new car warranty."

It's likely that they would have given him a different excuse for denial. He just gave them an easy out.
 
I had these wheels on my 2020 5 series touring. I ended up having 3 wheels replaced under warranty here in the UK for failing lacquer and corrosion to the diamond cutting as a result in the 13 months/25,000miles that I owned it. Worth adding my wheels were also ceramic coated with Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels.
