On a somewhat related note I will likely order X6 M50i instead of the X6M because only M50i has the 20" wheel option with all season tires it will be a daily driver and we will need the all season tires in the NYC winter. Call me lazy but I also don't like to stock a second set of winter tile/wheels and have to switch them twice a year.

I'm also in the NY/NJ area for now and struggled with the tire/wheel decision. I like run flats for what they stand for, but thats it. If I wanted no run flats, I had to opt for the 22's. Also not a fan of Continental tires, but not much option there from the factory. So, I got the tire coverage at a decent price and I'm always dodging those potholes and avoiding any debris whatsoever. Sorry, no real world experience beyond the three weeks I've had the X5 M50i. So far everything is intact and I hope to never have any rough stories. |
I live in Central California, no rain or snow here. Also wheel a tire protection is a cash cow for the dealerships. Too many stipulations doesn't cover cosmetic damage. You have to crack a wheel for it to kick in. I had it with my 20 inch wheels needed it once and was told my issues where "excluded" end I had to pay out of pocket.
