I am looking at 2020 CPO rwd M340i’s to buy down south and drive home. I have an idea to buy a new set of winter tires and wheels from Tire Rack and have them delivered to the dealership where I buy the car and have them put them on before driving back.

That’s a fairly big risk driving M3 performance tires 800 miles in the winter. Even if you don’t have snow the low temperatures could be a problem for the tires.

Good on you for doing PCD!!
Yeah, the silver lining is it'll be all break-in miles, so I'll be feathering the throttle regardless. The whole issue with putting tires on at a discount tire near PCD is that I'll be swapping out for 1000m wheels, so don't really want to spend money on a set of tires that I'll only use for 800 miles and then have to sell... unless I can recoup a good chunk of the value back.

I'm pretty excited - they just reached out for a date of Jan 19 (which I'll likely have to delay till 1st or 2nd week of February, but at this point it's becoming a reality after 11 months of waiting.
