i understand your motive and your question here. i too put a lot of miles on my e90 (20k in 9 months), so spending 1000+ on tires is, unappealing to be polite about it.

i wouldnt go to the v12s if your mostly doing street driving because of the wear rate and personal unsatisfactory experience with them, but i recently got the bf goodrich comp2s, and while they are a little loud around town, they are fantastic. grip is very high, braking performance is right up there, and with 380whp+, they dont break traction as quickly as other tires have.

my point is while you dont have to go comp2s, you can find other, fantastic tires for a reasonable price and with a reasonable tread wear in comparison to the pilot sports.
