Just to add these are the only UK package options. Other 17" combinations are possible but you get no discount so it is cheaper to buy the rims and source the tyres yourself. Seems some dealers are discounting the "tyre hotel" thing but as most were inundated due to last winter they may not. Stocks of tyres are already with dealers, indeed some are fitting them already - a bit premature whilst the average temp stays above 7C. BMW do not support or recommend all weather compromise tyres, tho the eagle eyed will see lots of these bought after market. Reason given? Compromises performance all year and makes mpg figures unobtainable (remember the bit about using special efficient tyres in the brochure as part of ED technology?)
