Tire Chains for a 540i
 

Any ideas where to get them and what kind? i.e. chains vs. the sythetic kind? I would be concerned about damage to the wheel wells and wheels.

Try Sportsrack.com. If I remember right they sell "cable chains". It's aircraft cable with mini rollers on the cross cables. They fit tight up against the tire with room to spare your wheelwells & fenders. They're made for emergency use only not for long run or highway type use. :wave

Theres a plastic snow "chain" that just basiclly snaps on and off. There cheap, and theyd grip just as good if not better than an actual chain. Sorry i dont have a link at this time.

arent they illegal in the US?

Nope, hell in some western states you're required to have them available (with you) to get up in the mountains. (Colorado & Nevada) There not made for long drives just to get you though deep snow & for really slow speeds.

Now that i remebred them, ill probably go pick up a set this weekend. there like $30 CDN and if they work itll help save my ass.
