I found out recently that there is a port-installed option for a full winter and tire set you can add to the car. And, I believe it is "residualized". It costs around $4400. I'm choosing this option.

All you guys aware, that there is a setting for the tires, in which you tell tell the OBC that you are running either summer or winter / all seasons?
I stumbled across this, when I got the message that my TPMS was reading 30 at each tire, so needed air in all. |

New member. First post.
Took delivery of 2019 M5 two weeks ago. In New England, weather getting cold. Plenty of snow on the way. My car has the 19s with standard brakes and Pirelli PZeroes. I've had a 328 and 535d recently, both with xDrive and all-seasons, which worked fine. Need a set of winter wheels/tires because this summer rubber won't work much longer around here. No luck at any of the nearby dealers (nothing in stock and can't afford to wait 6-8 weeks). Spoke to Tire Rack. Since they haven't had a chance to measure the car themselves, the website indicates that they don't have anything that fits. However, I found that BBS CI-R 19s should work, and they have those. Might not be the best looking rims, but not bad and run about $650 per wheel. They are 19x10 and I plan to run them on all four corners. Picked up 275/40/19 Blizzak LM-32 for about $300 per tire. So... about $4k for the entire setup, wheels, tires, sensors to be delivered to me. My only lingering concern is that TireRack won't guarantee that these fit because they can't stand behind wheels for a car they haven't directly measured. BBS says they're fine, and the sizing seems to be within 1% or so of the stock setup (since front rims are 0.5" wider than stock, rears 0.5" narrower). Offset on these wheels is 25, while stock 19s are 26/28. Given all of this... anyone have feedback for me, positive or negative? They aren't expected to ship until next week, so if I'm making a mistake, now is the time to pull the plug. Thanks! |

You need to post some pictures BTW the width of the rims won't effect rolling diameter for the AWD You should be fine with your set up.

Thanks. Singapore Gray with silverstone interior.
The new BBS rims will be gloss black. Give it a little different look for the next 4-5 months. 1200 miles in. This car is a beast. Really happy with it. And a sleeper on the highway and in parking lots. |

Do you fellas with 19" know if you can fit a square set up on a staggered wheel? I am getting desperate and don't want to let the car sit in the winter. I have a 17 Ford Raptor for the really snowy days, but love driving the M5. I rocked a GTR year round in Eastern Washington winter, and always had a blast. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the posting. Please keep in mind that you will need to buy new summer set. You can get only summer OR winter set from the factory. They will take away your summer set, at least this is what the dealer told me because I was looking into this option. Good luck!

The sales manager told me that the port would remove the summer rims, install the winter ones, then ship the summer rims side by side with the car. This would allow the winter wheels to be residualized, while keeping the summers. So, I would keep both the summer and winter sets. This makes sense, given that I am paying extra for the winter wheels. UPDATE: I just triple-checked, and yes I will be getting BOTH sets of wheels - the winters will be mounted on the car, and the summers will be FedEx-ed to the dealership for me to pick up. So in essence, you're getting the summers from the factory and the winters from the port, but you get the winters on the car and the summers shipped at the same time to you at time of pick-up.

I am getting both rims and winter tires in a package. They're 19" rims. So, the 20" wheels would be removed and replaced with the winter wheels (rims+tires). I was quoted $4440. I am in the process of getting more info about the rims and tires in the winter package, and whether it's a square setup. I'll share more when I get the info. Btw, the winter wheels are apparently not on site, so my car will be sitting at VPC for a couple of weeks while they're air-shipped from Germany. So, two more weeks of wait added to the 7 months so far |

My problem too. Winter tires are mandatory and car arrives in a week. Going to keep close eye on what you guys find out for the US market. Hope to keep same rims and switch tires

In case anyone is wondering, through the two dealers I contacted, BMW is not bringing in any additional inventory of either the staggered or square winter tires in. I paid for mine and got told that there's no inventory left and unlikely that any more would come in for the rest of the year. apparently "bmw didn't think people would be driving the car in winter"

Hi. Newbie here. Does anyone have experience with staggered 275/35R 20, 285/35R 20 Sottozero II setup for '19 M5 Comp? This does not appear to be an officially recommended setup, but I'm not planning on driving the car hard during the winter.
FYI, dealer at first offered $3,663 plus tax for 19" OEM wheel and tire set with Alpin 5's 265 front 285 rear, then informed me that the package will not be available until March/April 2020. |
