It will be *much* cheaper and better to just stick a set of snow tires on the car. Or just drive a little slower on those runflats.

Thank you for contacting BMW of North America, LLC regarding your 2008 BMW 335xi. We appreciate your inquiry.
 
The trunk of the 3 Series models includes an open storage bin on the left side with ribs to accommodate CDs; the BMW center-installed CD changer goes under this bin. The Parts Department is informed of the correct model to install. Please contact your client advisor for information on including this accessory in your lease. The warranty on this accessory is two years for parts and labor.
 
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further comments or questions, please respond to this e-mail or contact the Customer Relations and Services Department at 1-800-831-1117, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time. Again, thank you for contacting BMW.
 
Sincerely,
 
Laurie Burkland

Upon checking with two local dealers, the MSRP is increased by $ 300 for this option, so that it is residualized; you negotiate the price, which at one dealer is $ 800. So you're basically adding $ 500 to the depreciation and financing it, which increases the monthly payment by about $ 20 for 36 months.

Get an iPod and save yourself the expense. You can resell your CDs for more than the cost of the iPod.

After driving in snow storms for 30 years in New England I find that a snow covered Interstate can be pretty challenging especially when trying to change lanes across ruts of snow created by the trucks. You need as much traction as you can get.
 
Also, for any any conditions it does provide better grip for performance. The 335xi Coupe for example is faster 0 - 60 than a non-x Coupe.

It's nice to have the additional traction when the going gets slippery. I find the difference in dry performance from a pure steering aspect noticeable but very acceptable.

My 335xi sedan arrived with Continental SSR RFTs, as several had suggested were the optimal type. Excerpted e-mail today:
 
"The car came w/ Continental SSR 22545 R17

I purchased an identical spare for $ 562, tire and Style 159 factory wheel, including sales tax of 42.73, courtesy discount of $ 30.
 
I would probably take delivery this weekend. So far, no problems whatsoever. Order was placed 12/28/07.

A national newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who recently purchased or leased a new vehicle because of a good deal they found, whether it was low APR (financing), lease specials, rebates or other incentives. Please respond no later than Feb. 19 with your daytime contact information to Chintan Talati at ctalatiedmunds.com.

Just got a Great Price on a BMW 335i Convertible by fpham

I came into a dealership (not expecting to walk away with a new car but I got a really good deal)
 
I got a 2008 BMW 335i convertible Titanium Metallic Silver, Prem package, Sports Package, Cold Weather Package, iPod/USB adapter, Satellite Radio, Paddle shifters, Automatic Transmission for less than $800 over invoice. It looks like Edmuns TMV pricing is close to 56K, MSRP for 57K for the package I got but let's say I got my car for way less. It was brand new, not a demo car. 30 miles on it. I did not have a trade in.
 
After the deal was completed, the finance guy gave me 4.8% financing; I probably could have haggled it down to 4.5% but I'm going to pay it off in 2 years anyways so it was no big deal to me.
 
So I feel like I got an incredible price. I live on the East Coast so it's cold so that may have factored into my deal. Plus, the manager said business had been slow for the past 6 week (since Christmas) because the economy had been down and not many people were purchasing the convertible because of the price. The 328 4 door sedans were still selling well.
