Order placed with summer performance tires, doesn't show up?

g2g8969 · 11-15-2012, 10:41 AM

Hi all, gotta quick question on my recent German built order car. I told my CA I wanted the summer performance tires because it never snows in Socal, and I actually saw on the initial vehicle inquiry report from my CA that it was shown there. However, when I go into my bmwusa or bmwvin, I see that the run flats are shown there. Anyone have experience with this? Maybe the summer performance tires get added on later in USA?

Thanks in advance!

I thought the Summer Performance tires WERE runflats. Just a performance tread and rubber.

S258A BEREIFUNG MIT NOTLAUFEIGENSCHAFTEN Tire with run-flat functionality

This is what I see. Is that the summer performance tires? The main reason I wanted them is because of the increase limiter and apparently better grip. Can anyone with recently ordered f30 check bmwvin.com and see if they show the same thing? (those of you that got the summer performance tires)

Just checked. Same as what mine says... and i made sure the tires were summer and not all season. I think you're good.

Shows the same for me although the initial VIR from teh dealer clearly shows the 18" performance summer tires... I hope its not one of those things where unless you got option B,C,D as well option A doesnt get added

If you have your VIR, the option code for summer tires is ZPT.

On mine, the option code is 2PF for the 19" 403M Summer tires that are an option for the M Sport.
