Is Nitrogen Standard in Tires

[X5carolina]

Will be picking up our new X50i from PC someday. (Sigh.). Can anyone tell me whether factory fills tires with Nitrogen or air? Thanks.

If it has green caps then yes, if not then the reg air it is.

^ X5carolina,
Some dealers will charge you for this.
Some times excessively.
Some times buried/hidden within a fee/service.
Generally, a declined item.

Here's a pretty good assessment of the pros and cons of filling tires with nitrogen:

I think it total bullsh , cause the air we breath contains 78% of nitrogen , for additional 22% they want from 69$ up to 179$ nnnice example how to make $$$ from nothing (air)

Just picked mine up from the PC, and I am pretty sure they are filled with air (no green caps, and no mention of nitrogen during the review time).

Thanks, everyone. Really helpful information.

I think they use 78% nitrogen.
