My 328ix manual also says the same. I'm not trying to judge or start an argument, it's an honest question. I've purchased my first bmw a week ago and trying to decide what tires/wheels to buy
For a winter setup, in my case, it was what I could find on Craigslist. Got a sweet deal on some 225/50-17 Blizzaks, would have cost me a lot more for new ones in the "correct" size. They're a little taller than 45s but they do fit. Have to run factory wheels though as I have a 335 and most aftermarket 17s don't fit.
