Anyway to order summer tires on 535i xDrive M-sport?

Dealer says no way to order summer tires, just all season on 535i xDrive M Sport. Since sizing is different on non xDrive with summer tires.

Have always run two sets of wheels and tires for summer/winter.

Anyone found a way?

Factory will not put summer on. No exception.

The only way is to deal with your dealer, as a swap/trade in. However, your dealer may give you such a low value on the factory all-season, you are much better off sell them on the forum or ebay or something and buy your own summer set.

That's my experience with my dealer. They will do it, by giving me about $500 for the all season (I believe tire racks sell them about $2000), at the same time, dealer is charging the full MSRP summer. At the end, I am keeping mine and will drive those crappy all season for 1 year and look to replace them on the 2nd year.

Thanks- that's what I was afraid the answer would be. Guess I'll plan along those lines...
