Has something changed on 340i xDrive TKR pkg?

mwh2009 · 02-21-2016, 04:58 PM

So I'm shopping for a 340i xDrive with Manual, Msport and Track Handling pkg. And I'm at the dealership nearby today to try and make up my mind about some leather/trim/option choices.

During the conversation, the dealer tells me that the Track Handling package with the 18" wheels isn't guaranteed to come with the Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

Now i've read in several places that those are the tires to get. The dealer said it 'might' come with those tires, but it 'might' come with Bridgestone or Continentals too.

Is this true? Is this a new thing? Is there a way to find out before my car actually gets ordered what I'll get? Can I control it?

My dealer seemed to think that you get the wheels for sure, but as for tires, you only get to control run-flat or not, all season or not.

Help!?

I hope that is not the case. Main selling point to me is the PSS.

Same here. Trying to nail down my order configuration, but this one has me concerned

Damn that's important. I hope they don't screw us. Can they tell you what bridgestone or Continental tire you'll get? Bridgestone makes some really good high end summer tires.

I got Track Handling Package and it came with the MPSS if you pick 398.

Ok makes sense. Yeah any of the 19's use runflats, hence Bridgestone's. 398 is non run flat and hopefully should be MPSS.

My 340i is a week 5 build and came with the Michelin PSS's on the Style 398's.

Good to know - hoping that as people who ordered track handling receive their cars, we won't see any change here....

i sense runflats in your future, get the MPSS in writing when you order.

I'll try, but my dealer specifically said he couldn't guarantee it
