I would highly recommend it if you will be driving in snow frequently but you could put winters or all seasons on the OEM 19/20 if you want

Here is mine on both. The 19/20 looks much better but the 829's are very good in the cold and wet and very comfortable, far less harsh over bumps
The 829M’s look good.

Is that car Dravit Grey?

I am considering putting snow tires on the 19/20 OEM’s and then getting a nice set of summer wheels, but that is the $$$$ option. I love how the matte gold 1000 M’s look but that would force me to 20/21. And if I still have another summer’s worth of tread left on my OEM 19/20 tires that might be a factor.

Like I said, I am not making a decision right now. I don’t even have a build date, and am cautiously waiting for BMW to delete more options based on chip and material shortages. LOL. I just want to do the research now so I can buy something this summer and avoid any shortages next October.

I am acutely aware of how bad summer tires are with even a dusting of snow. And this M3 will be my DD.
