Tyre recommendations.

Hi I need to change all 4 tyres on my partners x3. I know all about tyre problems etc. I'm just after people's recommendations for which is best in terms or wear, performance etc. Obviously only Bmw approved tyres. Currently it has Pirelli scorpions fitted. Thanks

Re: N/S front tyre wearing on outside edge

Re: N/S front tyre wearing on outside edge

Mine has worn the same, can I swap the front wheels over to save wearing the one out completely before the other?  Thanks

Re: Rear tyres

The fronts have some budget make I've never heard off on. They were on there when I bought it. Will be matching when the time comes to change them. Thanks for the pm.

Re: E53 Bluetooth Connectivity

I give up with mine! I've tried everything I've read on here and all it says is activate phone. There are no lights that flash and it doesn't bring up any message. All I can think is the Bluetooth module is knackered.
