Be interested to see for sure, sad to see you go but glad you've got what you wanted.

For me, I've just got the car back and they confirmed the wheels that were balanced last week at my 'trusted' tyre place were still massively unbalanced. 65g one one of the rears! Now it's fixed and it's smooth as silk through all the speeds and rev ranges. Yet again it's like a new car.

Next few weeks. They have guaranteed it before the tax changes in April. It's a pre built car in the BMW U.K. Compound that's why I can get it so quick.

Also why did you go for a 4 not a 3 considering you're in GC with 4 doors now right? Just curious

I prefer the look of the 4 and it comes with a powered boot which I miss from my F31.

Yeah I miss that from my f10. If you don't need the 4 doors then I agree the 4 looks much better!

Appreciate this is a 6er forum but here's my new wheels for anyone interested. Very pleased with it and it highlights how bad my 640d was as the engine and ride are far superior in the 435d. The dealer still doesn't know what's wrong with it! Such a shame as the interior and look of the car were amazing, just wish I could of driven another one as I expect it would of been sublime like the rest of yours on here.

I had the same issue. Check the 'Hub Centric Rings" are not cracked or worn. This could be the problem. Usually happens with after market wheels but can happen with OEM if the bore of the wheel is not fitted to the hub (circumference) evenly.

Not sure, I ended up demanding the dealer buy the car back off of me for what I payed, which they did to be fair. I noticed it up for sale a few weeks later so can only guess they fixed it? I know what you mean it totally ruins the driving experience. Good luck.
