I have been looking all over the internet and this forum to find my answer. Are the 2015 xDrive M235i staggered?

[Jeggers]

Nope they are square.

Front: 225/40-18
Rear: 245/35-18

I believe you can order it either way...Staggered Summer Tires or All Season (No Season I call em) tires squared.

My 2015 M235xi came with squared 18" Pirelli Cinturato All Season Run Flats...They're sitting in my garage in storage until they are sold or I return at lease end.

My vehicle was in stock and was ordered that way by the dealer.

I'm running square 18" Blizzak LM60 for the Winter and currently figuring out what set of staggered wheels/tires for Spring.

My 2015 X-drive M235 came with Staggered Michelin PSS. I ordered it that way, I wanted performance none-RFT as opposed to All-Seasons RFT.

[BlueM235]

Moreover, if you order RFT, the car will have a lower speed limiter.

Yeah, hmm, I'm not really sure what I was thinking there. I guess since my car came with the all seasons, I made a bit of an assumption. I humbly stand corrected.

Only if they're a/s. Summer performance rft still get 840 - high speed limiter and 155 mph max.

Yes. A "square" setup means the same size tire on all four corners. But that has nothing to do with whether they are rft and/or performance.

I have staggered summer run flats without the 130 mph limiter.

[augerpro]

So even the xdrive have staggered tires (and wheels) if you pick the summer tire? I figured it was square regardless because that tends to be the norm on AWD. Good to know.

I can confirm the 2015 AWD comes staggered when ordered with summer tires... In Canada anyhow. That's what I have.

Unlike a lot of manufacturers, BMW AWD cars come often with staggered setups. I believe BMW was the first manufacturer to offer a staggered setup on an AWD car from the factory.

The XDrive is not as "touchy" as the Suby AWD or Audi Quattro etc. As long as you keep the rolling diameter (F+R) within an appropriate range, there should be no issues whatsoever.

The staggered summer tires, which I believe are Michellin Pilot Super Sports, are not run flats. BMW includes the mobility kit with these tires.
