ED delivery - custom order tires?
Does anyone know if BMW will fit all-season rubber on a sports pkg wheel (style 161 on the E90) through the ED program? I'd like to order the sports pkg because I am not fond of the 16 inch rims that come standard on the 325i (dumb reason, I know). I live in the midwest, and even though we don't get a ton of snow, for my purposes the all season tire would probably be a better fit for my driving. Just curious...if BMW doesn't do this out of the factory, I suppose I would just end up buying a set of winter rubber, and switch back and forth.

1) Yes, we know the answer.
2) No they will not do it.
3) That is your best option IMHO.
Hope this helps,

When I leased my 2002 530i, I got the sport package. It came with Dunlop SP Sport 2000 (summer perf. tires). I replaced those right away with Dunlop SP Sport 5000 (M+S perf tires). These worked well enough for year round driving in St. Louis, and when I turned the lease in three years later, I just threw the orignal tires back in the car so I wouldn't get charged for worn tires. I didn't even remount them - just tossed them in garbage bags in the trunk and back seat.
So if you're leasing, that's a possible option.

Thanks, dwette and beewang, good insights. I will be leasing so that is not a half bad idea about the tires...
