My Ride: Estoril Blue 440i GC
Model Year: 2017
Tyre pressures the same as recommended for the RFT's.
I was running RFT's at a lower pressure than the "book" because I found they handled better and had less tramlining.

My Ride: 2004 545i / Orient Blue (I think) / Tan int / 116's Wheels / ... my favorite option, the HEATED steering wheel!
Previous cars retired:
2006 Corvette Z51, 2002 Corvette Coupe, 2002 Mustang, 1997 Maxima, 1994 Camry, 1990 Supra
None, and I mean none compare to this 545i. The 06 Corvette was faster, but not by much...
Follow the manufacture of the tires' info, some change in different temperatures

With 19" wheels I am running 32 front 35 rear per the manual.
Lower options are runflats so I feel you should go a little about the minimum recommend to compensate for the additional flexibility of the sidewalls...
