Staggered Wheels on XDrives
Hi everyone,
When I bought my 650xi GC, it came with 19" non-staggered style 351 wheels. I think the 351s style makes 6 series so ugly, so I wanted to change them with M5 style 343s, but I found a really good deal on 373s. Since I wanted to put M5 343s, I bought tires that fit both style 373 and 343. I bought Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3, 255/35/20 for the front and 285/30/20 for the rear. When I took my car to BMW to install those wheels, they told me that we don't recommend for you to put these wheels on your car since they are staggered and your car is Xdrive and they said if you want us to put those wheels on you have to sign an agreement that the drivetrain is out of warranty. I ended up going to a normal tire shop.
After I put those 373s, I feel like the transmission is not shifting smoothly at all. I took my car to BMW, they reset it and they said it'll take a week to adapt to your driving style, but it's been almost 3 weeks after they reset it and still it's not smooth.
I don't know what to do.
I'd appreciate it if anybody could give me any suggestions.
