This has really pissed me off.....shocking customer service from BMW!!

Here, print the following sentence off and show it to them: I've been using wheel cleaner on the car's wheels and lug nuts for 14 months now, and NO RUST.
So, it's not the wheel cleaner.

Did they ask you if you use wheel cleaner or did they just assume it, since it is convenient for them to place blame on it?

If you've used wheel cleaner then show them my response above.

Also, you may want to review the owners manual first, and if there is NO warning about using wheel cleaner, then ask them to point to you the exact page in the owners manual that says not to use wheel cleaner!!!!!!!!!! That oughta' be fun for them, because they will look and look and not find it. Then your next question is: " ...and soooo, why would it be MY fault?"
