I ordered the same and am wondering if you are happy with them. Only tires are Dunlop as of Today. Is that what you are using also?

did you purchase a staggered set?

will it still be ok with the "xdrive" or "xi" ?

would staggered void the warranty?

The folks at tirerack do not recommend a staggered setup with the xdrive cars.

A staggered set up on an awd car would be ridiculous. For one thing, it would make your handling suck. More importantly, it puts unnecessary wear and tear on the differential. Don't do it.
