Not to be an asshole but why wouold you mismatch tires front and rear? You bought a BMW not a kia so you should have realized tires are expensive. I am sure the Contis are fine but if you mismatch tires the car will not handle correctly and could be a safety issue. Is it really worth risking all of that for a few hundres bucks? I dont think it is. Like I said not trying to be a dick but I am giving you my honest opinion. I have an X3 sport pack as well but did not opt for 19's because of the weather here and it was a 2 year lease so to buy winter tires and rims is pointless to me to only use for 2 winters.
