[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 343132, member: 81"] BMW doesn't recommend tyre rotation esp on unidirection tyres and staggered setup. ----- BMW's stance is this, depending on individual operating conditions, different wear patterns appear on the front and rear axles. So for safety and handling reasons, BMW does not recommend to rotate the tires. The possible benefit of slightly improved tire wear will be negatively offset by reduced traction while the tire "wears-in" in its new location. In addition, more and more BMW vehicles are equipped with different tire sizes on front and rear axles, so for those cars it does not make sense to rotate tires. So the bottom line is: due to the above reasons, it's not worth the cost and effort to perform tire rotation. --- I think its somewhere in our owner's manual as well. Something I found amusing even from my E46 days. [/QUOTE]
