Just a guess, but I doubt if 20" F10 tires go well with NYC potholes although I recall one or two F10 owners in the area that have them.

Some have reported clicking sounds due to metallic or plastic parts of the seat belt hitting the B pillar (center roof support). The front A pillar has an airbag behind a cover. I suppose the cover...

You cannot buy the genuine BMW insurance after you take delivery although many of the other policies offered by BMW dealers and others can be purchased after delivery.

The rear view and top view cameras are very effective when parking against the curb on either side.

A run flat doesn't prevent loss of air or reduce the amount of air lost. In those cases when all air is lost for whatever reason, it allows you to drive on the tire without air for 50 or so miles. ...

In this particular case, you would have had the same experience with a non-run flat. A screw through the tread will cause a slow loss of pressure which you can probably fill up until it slowly leaks...

Mine must be broken

My A/C stays where it was when the car was turned off. It could be because the four-zone is different. :dunno:

Your problem could be related to an off center belt in your new tire (a manufacturing defect) or a poor tire balance by the dealer. The dealer replaced the tires on my 2011 535 and I immediately...

Even better are the four-zone climate control red/blue adjustments. They are passenger/driver independent on four-zone and worth way more than the $500 they cost. It's too bad that they can't be...

This sounds like the situation when the 2011 F10 X-Drive was introduced into the USA with Goodyear LS2 tires. Not only did they fail a lot, but you had to wait six weeks for a replacement. Now they...

LukeS has it right! You can make do with RWD and winter tires in the snow, as I did with my E39. However, when it comes to hills (like my driveway) the AWD even with all-season tires is superior. ...

There is a solution

It is unfortunate that a buyer has to accept the 40 profile tires if they want other desirable options on the F10. We could debate forever what the real cause of the failures is with the 19” 40...

Read the policy carefully. My BMW dealer offered me a policy on my new car at half the cost of the BMW insurance. The fine print said the maximum payout over the policy lifetime was $2,000.

Your concern is real. I wouldn't take my 535iX with 19" LS2s on trips until I changed out the tires for ones with a higher profile. Based on my experience, I'm glad I didn't. If you do not have...

RFTs have a stiffer sidewall than non-RFTs. Therefore, according to my tire dealer, they are less likely to collapse and allow the rim to hit the pavement. However, it is possible that you bent the...
