Sorry Iceman, I ment PROPER tyres, or even PROPER TYRES.

But You are right maybe there is not enough space, with out major modifications.

Maybe tracks?

My Ride: 2005 530i - Alpine white with auburn interior; tip, xenon, pdc, sirius, prem, cold weather, red reflectors and xpel.

I recently found this forum & its been great. I am very interested in the 530xi (sedan or touring), but decided to get a 530i b/c my lease expires in Feb. Depending on what you read, it appears this model will be here as early as April or in the later part of 2005.

I know people have indicated they have already ordered & are expecting delivery in April, but my SA thinks that is optimistic. He is saying you can place a deposit, but there is no way to place an order at this time. My dealership would have no issue with me deciding to go with an Xi (& cancelling my order), but it doesn't seem likely for March or April. Has anyone in the US been able to actually order a car?

Won't xDrive compromise it's handling? If so, will it make it have less oversteer? or.. the dreaded understeer ;D.
