Hello everyone,
I just picked up a '16 F30 340i X-Drive M Sport. I previously had a '13 335 RWD a few years back that met an untimely end due to a critter in the road. I replaced that with an E38 740 that I sold to move to this 340. I live in New England and with the E38, I had my M-Pars for the Spring/Summer/Fall and Style 5 w/ Michelin X-Ice for the winter. Being a big heavy car, the snows were no problem getting around.
The F30 M Sport, as we all know, comes with these god awful run-flats on the standard 18" 400 wheels. I've looked at Tire Rack, etc for packages but as soon as you identify the model it kicks out the search to a please call.
Before I do that, I wanted to reach out to you all and see what options you were running for winter wheels and tires. Any suggestions?

So because the size of your brakes, you can only run an 18' rim or larger AFAIK. Now you could get a 18 X 7.5 rim ET 25 and run a 225 45 R18 winter tire with a square set-up.
