Didn't really expect the xDrive models to have all season tyres, like you say even the X models are normally on summer tyres.

I know my local dealer up in Inverness (covering the north west highlands), has been one of the key dealers pushing for xDrive 3-series in the UK, doing so for many years. Many of their customers have been wanting saloons or tourings instead of the X3, which incidentally many are on all season tyres as OEM fitment, and/or running winter tyres.

I imagine a lot of Calterdon's customers will be laughing at the idea of xDrive F30/31 having summer tyres, sort of defeats the real reason for xDrive, where customers want better all weather performance.
