I've just bought a new winter wheel/tyre set from BMW for my 2019 F31 with blue M Sport brakes. The original wheels are 19" and the winters are 18".

Is anyone aware of any issues relating to snow chains which I have to buy to drive in the Alps? I'm thinking about problems with ABS or auto gear changes etc.

BMW are quoting me £296 for RUD chains which seems a helluva lot compared to basic sets at £60.

Where are you to need chains? My M135i on winters with an lsd was as good as my Range Rover in the snow.
Don't think you read the OP? wink

It was BMW saying that non OEM wheels could affect the warranty that swayed me – I've paid the extra for peace of mind!
