My Ride: 07 530i Silver Gray Metallic, auto, winter package, premium package, black leather.

There has been some discussion on other BMW sites as to proper tire pressure. No one has responded for an 06 530i so I thought I would ask the question to other BMW owners. Currently I use 29 fronts and 36 backs as suggested. Does anyone find that others pressures are better?
Thanks

29/32 in my non-sport 530i package was way too soft. Handling turns was difficult, I now run 33/ 39 and
handling have improved.

That's strange, I'd expect only turn-in to suffer, with your absolute grip improving with a lower pressure. Your gas mileage will certainly be better with a higher pressure.
