550GT - xdrive
Ordered a 550iGT - was close to buying a Panamera but opted for the BMW for the added practicality - and the performance was not lagging too far behind. Needless to say, excited - and had a couple of questions for the forum:
1. Have ordered a 550GT x-drive and delivery is supposedly scheduled for July 25th(ish). A couple of months ago I was being told the xdrive would not make it to the U.S. until November. So does anyone know whether July is realistic or whether the dealer was being optimistic to bag the deal...?
2. I opted with the stock 18" on the basis that I do a lot of winter snow driving on the east coast (and used to have a X5 4.8is with 20" performance tires that were useless on anything but dry tarmac). Does anyone know whether a good/bad idea to change seasonally to snow tires on the 18" and any issues switching run-flat tires on and off wheels? Or for that matter whether can get snow tires for the 19/20" wheels?
Thanks..
