seems like they install 245's on all four wheels when they put the 124's on a 530.? i want to put 124's on a 530xi.

If you are interesed in all-weather tires, your choices are limited in those sizes, but Michellin does make a AS version of thier Pilot.

I went from 17 inch style 116 to 18 inch style 124 and there are no problems at all.
As said above just reset the tyre pressure monitoring system in the I-Drive and off you go!

Yes they are original bmw I bought them of from a main dealer over ebay.
got a bargain, Wheels were taken from a customers 545i who upgraded.
they havent even worn the moulding tags off the tyres, totally un-marked alloys.

Probably should reinitialize the new tires so you don't get a flat tire warning on the i-drive screen. Hit the 'I' on the i-drive screen, then vehicle settings, then ftm. Follow the instructions on this screen to reinitialize.
