Replacing the wheel inserts on your BMW iX3 may affect your vehicle’s warranty

Typically, your vehicle’s warranty policy will have provisions for original parts and unauthorized modifications. If the replaced wheel inserts cause damage to other parts of the vehicle or are considered to be associated with the vehicle’s malfunction, the warranty of the relevant parts may be affected.

However, some manufacturers may still provide warranty service if the replacement wheel inserts have the same specifications, quality and performance as the original parts and the installation process meets professional standards.

It is recommended to learn more about BMW’s warranty policy and consult a BMW dealer or professional repair personnel before considering replacing wheel inserts. They can provide accurate information and advice based on the specific situation to ensure that the replacement operation will not adversely affect the vehicle’s warranty.

In addition, it should be noted that replacing wheel inserts by yourself may also affect the vehicle’s annual inspection. According to the Traffic Safety Law and the Road Traffic Safety Law, it is not allowed to privately change the original structure and its shape, let alone the original active safety device. If there are changes, they must be filed with the vehicle management office and undergo a safety inspection. After passing the inspection, a qualified mark will be issued. If it fails, it cannot be driven on the road. However, during the 6-year inspection exemption period, it generally does not affect the annual inspection (specific regulations may vary from region to region).

In short, to avoid unnecessary trouble, before making any modifications or replacing parts on the vehicle, it is best to understand the relevant regulations and warranty policies and seek guidance from professionals.
