Morning all

I went out to my car this evening and I have a flat front left. 5k on the clock.

Question - I can see they are continentals and the size, but they don't say if they're:

Sport contact 5 or sport contact 6! BMW garages in Edinburgh didn't know, or at least the people I spoke to and there is a difference of opinion on sites like Blackcircles vs Halfords (who only supply SC5's for X3M's).

Has anyone had to change one of their MY22 conti's yet, advice on replacing 1 or both fronts or indeed getting repair on it if it's in the right place.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Hi bud, just checked my photos from handover day .. the tyres are Sport Contact 6 * .... based on our build dates yours, by rights should be the same

Mine are the same Conti Sport Contact 6* too

Thanks both! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Once I drove it out of the dungeon that is my underground car park I saw the 6 on the tyre wall.

Also managed to get BMW to price match. Now waiting on the courtesy hire car (that you get for 48 hours if you’ve had a puncture) and a call from the service dept.

According to BMW Roadside Assistance if a BMW service centre can’t rectify within the hire car period they need to keep you mobile…

On who’s budget? Definitely not Roadside Assistance’s… Anyone been through this procedure?

Chased service department again and evetually got through to service agent who didn't know the car was there.

"Are you sure it's here?" - Yes, it's parked out the back on the left according to my tracker...

Service department mentioned I might require all 4 to be changed because it's a 4x4... Hopefully they are within 2mm tolerance across axel and 2-3 front to rear...
