My M850i was built to order, but I have no idea how BMW determines which tire brand to put on at the factory since most others seem to have Michelin non run flats. Thanks for the advice.
For the first model year many (not all) euro manufactures of hp cars will use the best (Pilots) and then add in a less expensive brand. I'd assume you had your alignment checked at the dealership and/or indie shop?
