cmilligan,

Thanks for the additional pictures. Can you answer a question about your tires? From just looking at the pictures it doesn't look like the tires are staggered. The rears look the same width as the fronts from what I can see. Is that just in my head?

EDIT: Never mind, just looked at my build sheet and when they moved from Sport to M-Sport they went from staggered to square all around.

Thanks,

Sadly yes and no because it does not change much on handling but when you want change tire brand you don't need to throw away two good tire. The front are usually at 50% when rear are finished although may leas true with awd.

I am pleased that they are not staggered. I have had staggered, but prefer not.

isnt the m-sport supposed to come with 369m style tires?

specs are (were?) as this in the pdf ordering info :

Front: 19x8.5, 245/45 R19
Rear: 19x9.5, 275/40 R19

I can confirm that the m-sport i saw in the montreal region dealer had 245's all around.

You mean 369M wheels?

Must be an old pdf file. MSport is not staggered.

Yes, only the original sport package was staggered and with summer tires too which is what I would have preferred. Having it square all around is better for rotation for sure but I wish it was summer's instead of A/S tires since I always buy winter's anyway.

On a side note, got an email from my CA and my vehicle is built and released to the carrier. Wonder how long it will take to get up to Vancouver.

Thanks for posting the headliner PIC. I just ordered the sport package on Tuesday. Does the anthrecite head liner make it seem dark in the cabin? Your X3 is stunning!!

I have a convertible with the anthracite headliner so there is no moonroof and I don't think it's dark in my car so I can't imagine it would be dark in an X3 with the panoramic moonroof.
