BMW

We’ve all heard of the BMW car manufacturer, but few people outside of Germany may know what those letters stand for. The full name is Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft.

Originally founded on 7th March 1916, BMW has its headquarters in Munich, Germany, selling cars all over the world. BMW is known as a fine and luxurious car manufacturer, paying close attention to precision in all respects.

What kind of cars does BMW produce?

BMW is perhaps best known for its Series of cars – the 1 Series, 2 Series, and so on. You may also be familiar with the X range, from X1 through to the X7. They cater for many different drivers and their requirements, producing luxury compact cars through to saloons, coupes, and SUVs.

BMW has also made inroads into the electric car market. You can easily identify the range as they feature the letter I ahead of the name, from the i4 eDrive40 M Sport to the i7 xDrive60 Excellence.

What brand of tyres are new BMW cars fitted with?

BMW looks to several major tyre manufacturers to provide tyres for the vehicles rolling off its production line. They vary according to the model of BMW in question, but you can expect to see some of the most famous brands, such as Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone. If you’re looking for replacement BMW tyres, though, you can opt for a different brand if the tyres remain the correct size and specification.

How do I know which tyres to buy for my BMW?

If you are changing the tyres on your BMW for the first time, note the tyre information displayed on the sidewall of your existing tyres. You can find all the relevant details there, including the tyre width you’ll need. You should also find the correct details in your BMW’s manual.

You don’t need to buy the same make of tyres currently fitted to your BMW. If you want to switch, you can do so – just make sure you buy the correct size and type for your needs.

What is the correct tyre pressure for a BMW?

Each BMW model and tyre will have its own specifications in this respect. Note the details in your car’s manual. You should also find the correct pressure displayed on a sticker added to the pillar you’ll see when you open your driver’s door. It’s usually towards the bottom of the pillar.
