I've been waiting for my 550ix for 3 months now.
But, I wouldn't do that. These days, AWD system is quite sensitive/fragile. Staggered set-up will lead to difference in circumferences of front and rear wheels. That might be a stress to the xDrive system. I've been driving Infiniti EX35. One day, my tire guy told me some folks had problem by installing same size tires with different treat pattern on their AWD Infinitis. |

Interesting.. Had ran a staggered setup (21s w/ dunlop tires) on my e70 X5 last summer and never had a problem. In fact, it was bmws OEM setup for the e70. What would be the difference with the f10's xdrive?

The European xdrive model has staggered. The NA one does not.
It comes down to the factory spec programming on the (staggered vs non-staggered) tire setup. |

After talking with the dealer about wheel sizes. If I was to get 20" wheels from the dealer for my 535 with xDrive, the wheels the would be staggered.
Front: 20x8.5 33mm Rear: 20x9 40mm |
