While searching for a 2004 530i, the dealer showed me a 2003 that was just traded in and I couldn't resist given the options, lower price, and pristine condtion:

Only 39,000 miles
Black on Black
Auto-Steptronic and steptronic paddles
Sport Pkg w/ M Wheel
Cold Weather Package
Xenon Lights
Moonroof
DSC
White turn signal lights
In-dash CD player with CD Changer prep
Integrated phone
Wheels w/ deep well

I'm a new member and read a lot about changing the tires for snow, but the salesman said that was not necessary. I know nothing about tires and such, let's say that right now and my husband is overseas. We live in Northern Va outside of DC where we do get the ocassional snowstorm in the winter along with ice.

Right now the car has Toyota PX4 235/45ZR1797W. Do I need to make a swith for summer and/or winter? I'll post pics later. Thanks!

The PX4 is an all season tire. It can survive snow and ice as long as caution is applied. If you lived in Canada, I'd suggest a winter tire, but in Virgina, you'll be ok.

Thanks. That helps put my mind at ease. The independent dealer where I bought from insisted there was no need to change tires, BUT, hey he's a dealer.
