Snow tires? Hmm.. I don't think you will need them, because forecast shows that in 20th of March there will be about 72 F IN Munich, not sure about other cities. I think you must at least have all-season tires till 1st of April I believe, but not sure.

If there are wintry conditions (snow, slush, conditions for ice) you must have winter tires marked with a snowflake or M+S logo. No specific dates since it is based on conditions, generally should assume from October to Easter (assume mid-April.)

the 'winter restriction/condition' ends on April 15th. i do think its optional, but if pulled over or whatever, there is a fine for endangering the lives of other drivers or something like that... might want to talk to your dealer and Google.

oh yeah forgot one thing - if you will be going to mountains you must have at least M+S tires or snow chains, but it's mainly in winter season. This is as far as I know, but I'm afraid to lie.

Damn! You went all out! Nicely done bud. Enjoy it!

My CA told me they wouldn't install the M-Perf parts at the Welt/factory. It would have to be state-side. I had inquired about the grilles.

Can you share how you placed the order with your CA to get the M-Perf parts upon delivery at the Welt??

Very nice color combo. Happy that the snow stayed away! It snowed on us and lots of fog in early oct.
