I went to the Tire Rack website to check on larger tires for the car and it asks if the car was built before or after September 2010. What changes were made after 9/10? I thought that maybe they changed OEM tire suppliers, but the tires choices are the same for both build date questions. Does anybody know what's different?

I figured that much out when I put in that the car was a 2011.

BMW switched to a different type of tire pressure monitor. Different frequency I suppose.
