Dealer told me this past weekend that you absolutely cannot put chains on the 18 or 19'' sport wheels that the BMWX3 Sports Pkg comes with. Any truth to this? We want this to be our SUV for our Snowboarding trips, etc. Does getting the sports pkg make it more of a sports car rather than a functional SUV? :(

The dealer is correct. However, it's not so much the sport wheels as it is the tires that comes with BMW sport packages. They are usually summer-only tires, and the vehicle would not even move in snow with those. So do not get the sport package. Also keep in mind that that X3 is not exactly BMW's best vehicle. For the same money or less you would be better off with an Acura RDX or MDX. Both handle better, ride better, have more room (MDX), nicer interior, and will be great in snow. That's my two cents. Good Luck.

Test drove the RDX; X3 is superior to RDX in driving dynamics and overall performance. MDX is really more of a competitor to the X5. Also the X3 Interior is improved in 2007. You can get the 18'' wheels without the sport package with all-weather tires on X3 as a low cost option. Report It
