it was part of the deal. I said no bridgestones and if car comes in with them (which it did) they would need to put michelins...if you pay this type of money for a vehicle - it should come with safe tires. I think the bridgestones are unsafe. I had the infamous recall with my ford, and even a TSB recall with my 330i where they replaced the bridgestones after 16K miles with continentals due to cupping and hydroplaning. the continentials are significantly safer and more comfortable on 330 as are the michelins versus bridgestones on the X5. I'd be curious if BMW exports the X5 with bridgestones for the German market or do they use Michelins?
