The answer to this should really be in the manual but instead it just says ask dealer and my local expert is useless, so......

As above 530d M Sport touring running staggered 19” set up with blue brakes

Mr Winter Whhels will sell me a square 245/45/18 set of alloys and winter run flats which actually have a pressure guide in my drivers door plate

Comments?

PS I know it’s July, I last bought winters in August and when it snowed they cost triple the price

Cheers

I'd trust Mrwinterwheels. Bought mine from there a few years ago and they fit perfectly.

Mine has staggered 'standard' wheels / tyres, and the winters are square as per the plaque inside the door.

Thank you, and I agree

However it's poor/surprising that bmw don't have this info listed on an easy to find online resource let alone the F manual

All BMW factory winter kits have a square setup - I just sold my G31, and with it the 19” 245/40/19 winter wheels

You mean like their winter wheel lookup website where you put your VIN number in to see what's available?

Ha ha

Thank you!

(Although my car doesn’t appear on their VIN register yet so I’m none the wiser)

I have the opposite issue - my VIN works, but there's nothing available.

My VIN gives me details for a 2003 530i saloon or a new M5
Both have street cred but neither actually belong to me

It would be soooo much easier if it was in the manual

Having said that I’ve blagged a VIN from an AUC and Mr Winter is bang on

Cheers
