Thumbs up

My 2004 build E61 has door pillar stickers advising pressures of 2.4 Bar front and 2.8 Bar rear. (35 and 41 PSI).

(17 inch wheels 245/45/17 tyres)

The Alldata sheet at the tyre shop lists 2.2 and 2.4 bar (32 and 35 psi)

have the recommedations changed since my build?

What are the recommendations on pillar stickers from anyone with a 2005/6 + car?

From my e60 data above, it seems not.

Shouldn't be any difference between E60 and E61.

Interesting that yours has different pressures for different speed ratings, mine are all the same.

They appear to have refined the pressures somewhat.

I'll give 2.1 and 2.5 a try and see how it feels.

Thanks
