PCP agreement - WIll I be charged extra for stone chips?
I own a BMW 4 Series. Next year my PCP agreement with BMW ends and I have been warned that I will be charged for wear and tear items, such as tiny stone chips on the bonnet. Is this correct?
If so, should I have alloy wheel damage and stone chips repaired or wait and see what the dealer says?

See what BMW says prior to returning the car. They can legitimately charge you for this sort of damage, but might not actually rectify it, preferring instead to simply shunt the car through an auction where it will be someone else's problem but where the need for rectification work will bring a lower bid.
