Well maybe BMW equates feathering to scalloping too... who knows... Where are my free tires?

My Ride: 545i - ordered in January delivered April 21st! Black Sapphire Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple.
They are Dunlops and the picture is of the front tires.
I have to go in for the rattles and squeaks so I will mention it.
