I am interested in purchasing a pre-owned BMW 330e from the year 2019 with a mileage of 60,000 km.
The wheels have significant corrosion on the metal surface, and I am uncertain about the acceptability of this condition. Will the wheels need replacement in the near future?
Is there someone who can provide guidance or recommendations?
Additionally, do hybrid automobiles need a significant amount of maintenance?

The process of rusting is a natural occurrence.
Some individuals remove that layer for aesthetic purposes, but in all honesty, it is not worth the inconvenience unless you want to showcase or present it at a formal exhibition or gathering.
It is a common occurrence in 99.99% of automobiles.

When you refer to "wheels," are you specifically referring to brake discs?
There is no issue with them. It is normal to see a little amount of rust on the portion of the disc that is not in touch with the friction material.

Hello, I appreciate your gratitude. I am referring to the metallic structure located at the rear of the alloy. Have you been able to see the attached pictures?

Are you referring to the inside of the wheel? Since it is made of alloy, it will not rust. The debris you are seeing is just from the brakes. There is no problem whatsoever, and it may easily be resolved with a thorough cleaning.
Indeed, the photographs are clearly visible, as shown by my first reply.

Thank you for your assistance. I value your reply.
I am interested in purchasing this automobile and would want to know whether the corrosion on the rear frame is problematic.
Thank you one again.

This seems to be a fake or spam.
