Looks like another excuse for BMW to sell you something at a markup. Anyone who'd be concerned about that is probably pretty clueless or looking for a cheap excuse to negotiate the price down.

Gaz 1040 Report post Posted September 27, 2017 Star rated tyres are tyres from companies that the car come out from factory with. Having them can make a difference when it comes to how the transfer case reacts during cornering etc. Less of an issue in the e53 but more prodominate in the e70/83 and f15/25 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
