I agree. Get the sport package. Add the 20's and fender flares later.

At least this way, you get the benefits of the sport package, and still have 19's for winter...

Either way, still gonna be a nice ride.
Thanks guys.

I thought that 19's that come with the Sports PKG are summers and not for winter?

Also, if I get order without the Sports PKG, when I get 20's, will I need to do any lowering or spacers...or will it work right out of the box?

Thanks.

Sport pkg 19s are all-seasons, at least for US. 20s if you get from the dealer are the summers. The 20s don't need any extra work whether you're coming from 18s or 19s - just throw them on. I'm very satisfied with 20" all-seasons here in NY year round. You may need winter tires instead of those 19" all-seasons up there in CA. If you don't want the sport pkg, then you may as well stick with the 18s and throw winter rubber on. I'll never tell anyone to stay away from the sport pkg though...

Are the 19" "all seasons" RFT's?

I'm 90% sure that all new BMWs come with RFTs.
