Hi

I have some Weissenfels Clack and go Quattro but they are for an e91 and will not fit f11.

I have winter tyres so not that fussed (have driven in the alps before in 1 foot of snow with an e91) but you do have to have snow chains when driving in the alps so does anyone know if there are clearance issues with the F11? - I have winter wheels and tyres on which are 245/45 R18

Hmm, thanks for the info but I don't think snow socks are any better than snow tyres ( someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and also are not allowed in lieu of chains....

never had to fit them yet, they're to BMW's spec in terms of chain size and clearance
excellent thanks very much order a set from a company in Kent - although they will fit and provide clearance I was warned that they are light weight but seeing as I don't plan on using them then this is okay with me.

cheers
