My Ride: 545i Silver Grey on Black, 6 Spd Manual, Sport, Comfort Seats, Sat Radio, Fold Down RS
I'm in LA (westside). Bought a set of 4 tires for my BMW E46 about 2 years ago. Pretty smooth process. Had them drop shipped to a store in Santa Monica (Stokes Tire I believe).
May be worthwhile to ask how much balance and installation is. Since the tire store is not making any money on tires, they may charge you more for installation. I belive I paid $20 per tire for balance, installation, and alignment.
Hope this helps a little.

I used them once about 15 years ago. There was a problem with delivery where they stated the tires were delivered but they weren't. I lived in Atlanta at the time and I think someone might have stolen them off of my back porch before I got home. They shipped out a second pair within 48 hours. This was before they had a list of dealers to do installation so the hardest part was finding someone to install them. I get my tires now at Costco but I imagine that the new E60s shoes will be enough $$$ that I'll shop around alot. If the wheel/tire combos come balanced then why not DIY?

Great to work with! They know a lot more about tires for a BMW than my dealership. Highly recommended.
