Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?

the ones that come on the car are not good in the winter? Looking to buy a BMW but don't want to have to do alot of tire switching. And I don't want an SUV. Any one know?Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?Modern BMWs are very good in all weather thanks to amazing traction control. Avoid the 'sports package' as these tend to have ultra-high performance tires that are not well suited to winter driving conditions.



If you live in snow belt, maybe you should consider getting a BMW with the X Drive AWD system, just to be on the safe side.Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?
I got a 328i a few months back. I've driven it in horrible rain storms, where I could barely see the road. It never slipped not even once. I don't even have the Xdrive. So far my BMW has been more stable than any front wheel drive car I've driven. I love it.

Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?BMW cars are notorious for bad handling on snow and ice. So, snow tires are a must for driving.Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?
It depends if you get a car with the "Sport Package" or one of the M series cars. They come with summer tires and you have to change those out when the winter comes with some winter tires. The rest of the BMW cars come with all-season tires so you have to make sure you check the options list if you're buying a new or CPO BMW or ask the seller if you're buying privately. Another option would be to check the tires themselves and see if they're all-season or summer or call BMW (get the VIN of the car) and ask them about the options on the car. Sport Package equipped cars and any of the M Series will always come with summer tires.



On another note, I recommend to anyone buying a BMW (unless you're getting it from the ACTUAL BMW DEALER with a new warranty or CPO warranty) to get the VIN number and call BMW and get the information on the car. The next thing to do is to go down to a BMW dealership with the VIN and ask for the service history of the car. They'll be able to tell you the repair history of the car. The last thing you should do is get the car checked out by a mechanic. You don't want a headache.Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?The Bavarian Motor Works cars aka BMW are really great cars and very well built. As far as snow tires go thats up to you. But a good set of All Season Radials will work very well.Is it true that when you buy a BMW that you have to purchase snow tires as?
If it's all wheel drive, the tires on most bmw's would be fine. but if its rear wheel drive like most of the bmw's I would defenitely reccomend snow tires so you won't be all over the road
rebel if the car has rear drive then it's best to switch to snow tires if you get a lot of snow. or just get a all wheel drive bmw. the tires that usually come with new cars are all season tires. trust me, you don't want to switch out back %26amp; forth on snow tires. it's a lot of work %26amp; you have to get another set of rims. but if you get a lot of snow then it's probably worth it.



do the math

per year you switch them in %26amp; switch them out

that's 4 tires * 2 times = 8 times

now after changing them out you need to re-torque because the nuts get loose so it's another

8 *2 times = 16 times
