Guys quick service question for U again: did any of u get the after-break-in service done at 1500 miles? Dealer recomended it though I read somewhere (cannot remember where), that it is recomended for all M vehicles other than the X5M/6M. Thanks in advance for replies.

I did it out of pocket as it is not recommend and therefore not covered by BMW. All my other M's had a 1200 mile service so I figured it can't hurt

Yes. Per home page of Blizzak BM-V1 they fit. Click Specs on the linked page and look at Rim width column ...(9" to 11").

Thats what I thought too....I had made sure with Tire rack before I ordered them. The frea....ng service dept at the dealer decided that it wont fit. They then stuffed the tires onto the seats of the brand new truck...To add oil to the fire on the invoice they charged me for the tire change...

I'm pissed like no other. Left the car at the dealer as unfortunately the service center was closed when I got there. Sometime I think people dont think.....

Man... if they stuffed the tires on that leather I'd have some serious rage in that department and light some manager up. Unbelievable!

That is exactly what they did...I yelled at the sales manager who happens to be good and pretty friendly to me. if the service department was open I would have got someones head for that....I am still enraged hours after leaving the dealer.

One would think that before they decide not to put the tires on they would have the sense to call me. No phone calls. Then they stuff the tires into the truck on the leather seats. Freaking demented...

Going to call and threaten them tomorrow that if the car has a scratch has a scratch on the outside or dirt/rubber on the seats/inside they would have to clean/detail before I take the car away...

That is exactly how I feel right now....

I agree.

It just makes NO sense why someone would even think to do that! Seems it was done out of some sort of hate or jealousy for your car.

Sorry for your frustration, but I'd feel exact same way.
