My short test drive was conducted at 36psi front, 39psi rear. Just found out from Continental themselves that these pressures are too high for normal use!
Should be 34psi front, 35psi rear.

And how would Continental know what works on a 335i, running softer suspension than standard?! Continental will only have data if their tyres have been homologated for OEM use by BMW. This isn't the case with either the old CS3 or the new CS5P tyres, at keast in the case of the E9x.
I think you'll find 34/35 too soft and imprecise! 34/35 is what is suggested a set of generic 19" wheels on a regular car should be pumped to so that there is safety in the pressure for the given sidewall loading whilst maintaining comfort
