Fine-link snow chains

The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of fine-link snow chains have been tested by the manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended as road-safe and suitable.

Information regarding suitable snow chains is available from a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.

Use

Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equipped with the tires of the following size:

255/55 R18.

265/50 R19.

275/45 R20.

Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instructions.

Do not reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM after mounting snow chains, as doing so may result in incorrect readings.

When driving with snow chains, briefly activate Dynamic Traction Control DTC to optimize the forward momentum.

Maximum speed with snow chains

Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when using snow chains.
Thanks Sygazelle - that information in the US manual is very helpful. BMW here just say chains on 20" wheels are not supported.
