Do 135i's come with nitro filled tires

I store my car for the winter and was told you should have nitrogen in the tires to prevent corrosion on the rims. It has no moister in it. I had a z4 that had problems with corrosion and was always loosing air. Do the BMW's have nitro filled tires from the factory.

I know i should have searched first.

No they do not.

Moisture was causing your aluminum rims to corrode? Were you running steelies on your Z4?

Where was the air leaking? Never heard of corrosion doing this before to a aluminum wheel and causing it to loose air.

I've kept 78% nitrogen in all my BMW wheels (alloy & steel) and have had no corrosion.

Me too. Any higher percentage costs too much and doesn't provide any added benefit.
