BMW 3-Series Maintenance and Repair

Any problem with the battery?
 
Yup, the BlueTooth drains the battery fast. As such, I've bought both the car charger and the USB charger for my Razr.
 
Best Regards,
Shipo

Hey, you're off topic!! I might have to report you to the Host.

That's a pretty sweet deal from your dealer. I ditto Shirpo's advice as I recently purchased an '03 330ci and am having Blizzaks w/new wheels mounted on it tomorrow. Purchased from tirerack.com and the total should run me just over a grand. Being from chicago, and having recently been hit with snow on thursday, driving the beemer was not even an option without the 'snow shoes' and currently sporting the OEM 18" Michelin Sport tires obviously made for summer.
 
Since my dealer is not doing the service and therefore not storing the tires, do you or Shirpo have any recommendation on storage? A buddy is letting me use his garage, so can I just stack them, maybe 2 high? Does that damage/unbalance/etc. the tires?

Backstory: Recently I purchased a used 2003 330ci with the Sport Package (18" wheels). Since the snow has now graced our lovely city with its presence I switched out my wheels/tires to 17" Blizzaks (great by the way!).
 
Problem(?): Upon switching out the tires I noticed that 3 of the tires were 225/40ZR18 and 1 of the tires was 255/35/ZR18. I'm assuming that whoever had the car before me got a flat and when replacing the tire, just simply looked at one of them and got it replaced. Per the manual/door panel containing tire information the front should be 225/40ZR18 and the rear 255/35/ZR18.
 
Question: Will driving with the set above make THAT much of a difference, or should I invest in another 255/35/ZR18 to even things out come springtime?
 
Thanks in advance!!
