Just so you know....

...If you hit a pothole in the UK and need a new 19inch front wheel for a G29 it'll set you back £809.

Nightmare! I have had a rear tyre taken out by a pothole already (4 weeks of ownership). I found it very difficult to order a replacement (Black Circles and the like do not have the stock tyres yet). I hope that although the £809 was painful, the replacement was quick, presumably it came straight from BMW.
On my 320D I had winter tyres on cheaper rims for this time of year when you can't see the potholes coming so well

Any chance you can claim against the local council?

BMW may be able to replace the wheel today - if they can get the correct valve. The valve may be an issue as they'll have to come from Germany and they aren't easy to locate. I may have to wait until December.
