Will dealers swap the tires for us or will we have to pay? Also recommend any winter tires? My 1st ever M car in ny area

I'm not sure we will have to try it and find out, as for snow tires I know Bridgestone Blizzaks are one of the best.

I'll be going with a Blizzak setup for the winter. I've also had success with the Pirelli Scorpion Winter on my X4MC.

At last the status was posted as "at the dealership". My M3 Comp is at the PC in SC and PCD is scheduled for 6/7!! So just over a week to go.

Seconding blizzak's.

I hopped on tire rack a few days ago to see if I could get a great deal on the winters I know I'll have to buy, but they didn't show any blizzaks as fitting. So weird.

I'll end up going with a separate wheel/tire setup. Packages from BMW (and 3rd parties) should become available towards the end of the Summer or early Fall. My last winter setup was BMW but if I can't get what I want through them I'll go 3rd party.

Don't know for sure but looks like in the past it went to Baltimore and then Charleston.

I have 0 clue about any set up. Ive never had to switch tires so im eager to see what everyone is gonna set up. Im definitely buying BmW winter tires though just not sure what tires the rims comes with.

Anyone from the Sunshine Ace make it out of Bayonne yet? Still at the port.

Ordinarily I'd buy 3rd party, since my winter wheels tend to get beat to shit.

In this case I'm pretty sure I'm not even going to buy a second set of wheels seeing as the car is a lease.

True. I assume you have a 2nd car for winter? Mine is also a lease but I dont have a 2nd car for Winter

My car entered production on May 20th. Tracker still says production begins as of 27th.. I know I'm obsessed checking it daily but I noticed one week to build, anyone have a time line for california delivery?

Nope - I'm going to use it all year round. When I said I wasn't getting a second set of wheels I didn't mean I wasn't getting snow tires, just that I was going to have them mounted on the wheels the car comes with.

While I live in the northeast, I'm close enough to the city where I rarely have to drive on snow (since the plowing system is so good), and when I do it's a very minimal amount.

Practically speaking the reason I'm getting snow tires is because of their ability to handle cold temperatures and not so much about their ability to get me through multiple inches of snow.
