Yes but you have and M, not an e89 as per the post, so I quoted the right size for an e89 :roll: :poke:

I was quoting the 'right' size for an e46 CSL :P

However as the OP has a 2.3 E89, then something in the 16" range should fit :fuelfire:

I know from experience that non runflats are the way to go - I made the change on my E85 and it was like a new car. The only problem came with the dealer when talking at trade in time - The were not interested !

Just make sure that when you put proper tyres on the car you keep the old "solid rubber" in the corner of the garage on the off chance the car goes back to the dealer.
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

HI, I changed out my Bridgestone RF for Michelin Sport Pilot 4S's and it transformed the car (2015 Z4 35i). MUCH less noise and better handling. Try them, you'll love the difference that they make.

Best Tyres for 19s

Ive been told by a lot of mates that Bridgestone 090s are the best tyres to run for handling, especially on the track.

I have these fitted to my track bike - and they are awesome.

I have a set of Diablo Dragons which I am told will be better than the 090s when I am actually good enough to get the right amount of heat into them
