Tire diameter
How much difference in front to rear tire diameter can be tolerated before the ABS, DTC and all the other BMW nannie controls are effected? With larger rear than front tires, the tire diameters can be quite different. What front to rear tire diameters are you guys/gals running?

If memory serves me, anything more than a 3mm differential will effect the electronic nannies. I discovered this when I put a fresh set of rear tires on my car when the fronts were half worn out (figuring that with a 2 to 1 rear to front wear ratio the new rears would be worn out just about the time the old fronts were gone). After putting them on, I noticed the DTC would kick in with very little prompting on long sweeping freeway on ramps. I checked with the dealer and after some research, the service manager produced a document that called out the 3mm limit. Knowing that, I continued driving the car and pretty soon the rear wear started to catch up to the front and the DTC problem went away.
