Is this bad form or not?
I needed to replace an MV2 on my e46 and my mechanic recommended a motor factor/breaker type place that specialises in BMW parts.
I rang them up, asked if they had an 18” front MV2 and they said they did. I drove to them a few hours later and bought the wheel. I was in a rush because I had to do this on my lunch break, so I didn’t inspect the wheel as closely as I should have.
It turns out the wheel is a replica, which I only realised when I tried to fit it and found the centre cap from my previous wheel wouldn’t fit, and then noticed the wheel had no markings on the inside.
Obviously it was my responsibility to check the wheel before buying it, but I thought it was reasonable for me to assume that when I asked if they had “an MV2 wheel” that I didn’t mean a replica of an MV2 wheel.
Was this bad form from them, or just naivety from me?
