New wheels causing strange issues? Help

luciano84 · 06-29-2016, 01:30 PM

I had a set of 19 inch VMR V710 wheels put on with MPSS tires along with lowering springs last week.

After the work was done before driving it I had lights come up for air bags, seat belts, abs, traction control, chassis stabilization malfunction. Hill assist does not function and turn signals don't click off after turning.

Went into the BMW dealer and they told me that I needed new front wheel speed sensors on both sides because they were probably damaged during the work. I thought this was garbage and didn't believe they were bad so I left.

A few days later I added camber plates and during that time we checked the speed sensors and they were fine...

Went back to BMW today with all the lights still on to get an alignment after the camber plates were put on and to try and figure out what the problem is.

NOW they are telling me I need wheels bearings all of a sudden. I don't buy it, any one else ever seen this issue before ?!?

Did the dealer do the wheels and springs for you? If so, they should cover any resulting damage/problems.

Taking it to your friends shop should've been your first move. Clearly they messed something up big time during the install.

Also you may want to have your battery diagnosed. It could be simply a faulty or dying battery that is causing electrical problems.
