According to GoodYear's homepage, no. But that page doesn't necessarily needs to be right... 225/45x17 is the closest.
225/45x17 will is not recommened since its is sensitive to bumps and is unconfortable,at least thats wht ive been told. i should remain the same circumference, either 245/45/17 or 225/50/17. best is 225/50 R17 for 7.5*17.so im kinda screwed haha.i wish tjhey had them.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymmetric! No doubt 
just wrapped mine with the F1 A's two days ago. Not much historical data to back my opinion up but I love them so far. great grip and much quiter than the run flats.

Tire rack does not have the Goodyear F1 for the 535i Sport.
And I can't find the correct size on Costco either.

I was warned off The Eagle F1's by a number of tire organisations (even though they stocked them) on the basis that their extreme assymmetric pattern had on numerous occasions caused ongoing tire balancing issues as they aged. No question on their performance though.
They may be talking about other, older tires as Goodyear makes a number of tires with Eagle and F1 in the product name. The Eagle F1 and Eagle F1 GS-D3 for example are completely different tires and the Asymmetric adds yet another completely different but similarly named tire.
The F1 Asymmetric is well worth a look:
