No one uses CF wheels on track anyway. I bet they are made for Americans to show off at Miami beach roads.

Maybe not in racing but plenty trackday lads using BST wheels.

One or two odd ones yes. Most of fast guys never use them.
Yes it does. Still, teams are afraid of using them... It can get very expensive.

My 2015 Gen 3 has done 8000 miles and the paintwork is as though it has just come off the production line. Mint.
I wonder if that information/view went into the case the dealer raised with bmw uk?
Whilst on this thread, @carson what happened with your leaking front fork seals?
The dealers told me if I?m not happy with it I?ve to take it up with BMW UK directly. I can?t be bothered at the minute. I?ve had enough of all the aggro with it back and forth.
I?ll probably just put it down to bad experience and trade it in next year.
If I hadn?t just bought the R1M then I?d have changed it this year.
The bike went in to have the seals looked at. Turns out that it was grease from behind the dust seal?? They cleaned them out and it doesn?t seem to have leaked since.

It?s been on track 3 days in Alcarr?s and 1 day at Oulton since I got it.
The bikes in full road trim and only ever been in road trim. Wither it?s used on track or not is irrelevant to the issues it?s suffered.
Would be nice if the dealer spoke to me about these issues instead of discussing it with others.

The guys at the dealers are well aware that this bikes not a track bike as I use them for spares for my gen 3 track bike that they know I have solely for track.
I?m fuming that they?re discussing this with customers and not brought it up with me first.

Please re-read what I said - it was my opinion due to a general discussion about Gen 4 issues - in particular when I mentioned the amount of problems you have had - I didn't even mention your name, I merely said a guy on a forum that I use. They did not specifically say that they had rejected warranty claims due to track use but they are well aware that you use it on track.

Carbon Fibre Wheels
Correct; but they are only permitted in the STK class for 2020 and only if they are a homologated part. That said I doubt many riders/teams will use them though given the cost of replacements.

It?s pretty clear that they?ve said something to you regarding my bike being on track.
The fact is the bike did 3 days on track in October in Spain and the issues were reported well before I did the last day on it (only last week) at Oulton.
I?ll speak to the manager on Monday and find out exactly what is being said regarding the bike and put them straight on the bikes use. It?s been in a dealers for 6 months of the year that I?ve had it so I?ve not had much time to get all this ?track time? in.

My ?track bike? has another cracked rear carbon wheel.
This ones done about 500 miles since the front and rear were both replaced and the nearest it?s been to a track was going over a level crossing.
Not interested in the normal **** that goes on here when something?s said against BMW. Only posting it as a heads up to anyone thinking of buying an M Sport with carbon wheels...just don?t.

Where is the crack? Is it the spoke/rim join area per the earlier faults?
The exact same failure as before. Round the hub between the spokes.
Even though there?s suppose to have been an updated wheel in November last year.
Doesn?t mean that the replacement wheels that they fitted to my bike in May were the updated wheels right enough
