#1 of 6 X DRIVE TIRES by plina May 24, 2009 (7:08 am)
I have been thinking of getting a 335i Xdrive coupe. when you get the sports package you lose the all season tires for performance tires. To me it doesn't make sense you get all wheel drive because of bad weather. I know that you can get 18" performance all season run flat tires, why doesn't BMW offer these type of tires? To me it makes all the sense in the world instead of buying winter tires, and changing them every winter.

Replying to: plina (May 24, 2009 7:08 am) Are you sure that you lose the all-seasons?   Not that familiar with the current model, but in the past, the sport package on the RWD cars got summer tires, but AWD models still had all-seasons, even with the sport package..   I'd check with a dealer, and not depend on the package description on the website.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: plina (May 24, 2009 12:07 pm) plina (May 24, 2009 6:05 pm) kyfdx (May 25, 2009 4:52 am) plina (May 25, 2009 5:06 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (May 24, 2009 8:21 am) It looks like I didn't explain myself correctly. If you buy the regular sport package you keep the 17" all season tires but if you want 18" tires you only get performance tires. I want the M sport package and it comes with the 18" performance tires, you can't get 18" all season tires. That is what had me all confused.

Replying to: plina (May 24, 2009 6:05 pm) Ah.. that makes more sense..   Don't know what to tell you.. The 18" wheels look great, but tire replacement costs are a lot higher.. If you don't want to swap out each winter (and most AWD buyers, don't), then be prepared to buy a set of tires when fall gets here... If you get all-seasons, you'll only have to do it one time.   Good luck! Replies to this message: plina (May 25, 2009 5:06 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (May 25, 2009 4:52 am) Looks like I'm going to do that, because I like want that M sport package. Hopefully I might be able to make a deal with the dealer to swap tires. Do you have any recomendations? Also what do you think of the logic 7 system? Is it worth it?
