It's Black on Carbon Black, Aluminum, HUD, CWP, NAV, M-Sport Pkg
I need to replace the Bridgestones on my 06 550 M-sport with a good, reasonably priced set of 19's. Only got 35000 miles out of them with the right rear oddly enough being the worst. 
I'd like something with better performance, longer wear and a lower price! 
Am I dreaming? Almost all miles are high speed highway (over 125kmh) I'm not looking for All-Seasons this time; I'll pick up a set of winters next fall.

I have them and like them a lot.
Another option for all seasons is the Pirelli PZERO Nero M+S, which is a solid all season performer that I have had.
Good luck.

Try the Michelin Pilot Sports. I had them for 28K miles and they were great - good wear and minimal road noise. Bought Yoko 520s for the 545i now and they are great so far, though only 1K miles on them so far....

The OP stated that he was not interested in all seasons. If he was interested in all seasons, the Conti DWS has very soft sidewalls according to members here.
