Free Michelin Tires for your F86 X6M!

Hello! My M6 has been selected by Michelin Tire to be a sponsor display car at Legends of the Autobahn event on August 16 in Monterey, CA, during car week. Michelin will have all current M cars lined up on a display marketing they are the OE tire for all current gen M cars.


Help Wanted: Michelin told me they are having a hard time finding a 2015+ X6M. If you have or know someone who has a X6M and can donate the car for a day to the event, let me know! Michelin will give you FREE tires (Cup 2s!) and feed you. If you cannot attend, they'll even ship the car on their expense! (They don't care where you live in the country).

Ideally, they want a Alpine White car, but if you're willing to have the car wrapped white, they will do it for free too! You need to have stock wheels, though based on how desperate they are, they might even throw in new Michelin tires on them for free, just for this!


PM me! Here are some pics of the past events and details on LOTA:

They already found every M car (some donated from dealers and BMWNA) except the X6M.

They were picky, they initially wanted AW on Michelins. Now they'll take any F86 on stock wheels and do the wrap job and installing Michelins on it.

Ha! That's my concern too, but I'll be there with my car watching them load it on the display

Yes, they found a:

F87, F82, F80, F90, F06, G01, G02, F85 - All in Alpine White (or I'm guessing a shade of white like Mineral White or Frozen White), on stock wheels with unmodified body panels other than M Performance parts

Wow TheVazha, you must save a ton of money when the Concours d'Elegance is in town. Btw, that's God's country!

Haha I wish man. My in-laws live in Pebble, on the 17 Mile Drive too.. 😳

I agree, it's unreal up there. It's perfection. I really love Pacific Grove also. Reminds me on any east coast coastal town without the hellish weather.

Really? That HBO series Big Little Lies has brought a lot of attention to the area. And the residents are fed up 😂 But I'm sure the local Chamber of Commerce begs to differ.

As for the 17 Mile Loop through Pebble, "you gotta pay to play" (toll charge). I would love to charge people to drive down my street!

Barely worth your while. I’d politely decline and tell them to find another sucker.

I'm guessing you're quietly looking for a F86 as we speak?

Just an extreme example, but you get the idea. It's not for the week, but overnight Sat. Aug. 18th - Sun. Aug. 19th: $2999+ USD YMMV

I have a MW 2017 x6 M

Hey, I'm in NJ and just recently picked up a preowned 2017 MW with red and black interior. Amazing vehicle and it has the pilot sport tires on it now but will need new tires shortly so I could use those cup 2 tires. If they are interested my vehicle would be available. Please let me know
