Well, they will pass the cost of any tax through to youAh, mine is a lease, so the 'owner' (i.e. the leasing company) pays the tax. Thanks for the heads up though!

Actually just realised that with the optional paint (+£560) and Pro Pack (+£1830) brings the list price to £40075 which brings it £75 over £40k. This means you would have to pay an additional £325 a year tax from the second year Can't believe BMW haven't priced the car with these two options so that it is a touch under £40k not over.
Almost doesn't seem worth the two options now. Would be tempting to untick one of the boxes, or maybe adding another option or two.
When I ordered my M140i I really wanted the front parking sensor but the £300 option would have pushed me over £40k so that £300 parking sensors would have ended me costing £1600 in the long run
Best of luck - if they deem the thing that is creaking to be "trim" or "requiring adjustment" it won't be covered by the warranty and they'll try and bill you for the diagnostic charge.
Ask me how I know
Happened to my previous car too. I was told that it was the ratchet system of the electronic back rest was getting loose. Moving it forward and backward stops the creak for about 30 mins before coming back. Else apply some WD-40 - but this only solves it for about a week or so
You ought to be going by the car manufacturers spec, not the tyre manufacturers. Either in the door jamb or the fuel filler flap.
Was looking more for people who have actually fitted them to see if the information on Michelin website was more upto date than the 5 years old sticker on the car really.
Car states 35 front 39 rear so yet another recommendation
I'll drop the fronts a couple of psi to 35 & see how it feels as at 38 the front felt a little light.

My F80 is 32 front and rear, 255/35/19 & 275/35/19, which is what I run. Seems fine to me.You guys running Michelin pilot sport 4S tyres, what psi are you running?
Looking up on various charts I'm getting different recommended pressures,
Most seem to say 32psi front 36 rear, but on Michelin website it's saying 37 front 40 rear, which sounds a bit high IMO.
Sizes for information are front 225/40/19 (93) & rear 255/35/19 (96)& are fitted to a 430d xdrive GC
Garage have set them at 38psi all round.
Lower than I thought but I guess it helps grip/feel. What’s the bmw pressures ?My F80 is 32 front and rear, 255/35/19 & 275/35/19, which is what I run. Seems fine to me.
Nah I think they just make it up?I've always stuck to the car manufacturers pressures, regardless of who that is. I figure there's will be better than the tyre manufacturers as they will (hopefully) have done some testing.
Those are the recommended pressures. It’s recommended higher for a full load (5 people + luggage), but 32 all round is for up to 4 people.Lower than I thought but I guess it helps grip/feel. What’s the bmw pressures ?
. You know what I mean, although it does make me wonder who would do more thorough testing of tyre pressures.Nah I think they just make it up?

I went with James in his DC5 and i shared the same concerns, he also had them on hit. They are hit and miss reading forums but i think its about getting an even deposit by bedding in properly otherwise the uneven deposits cause the judder. They should have a nice even dark of grey across the disk when they done right.I'm surprised you found the DS2500 to hold up so well, I've always found them complete rubbish for track use especially on a heavier car when pad deposits are even worse. Car sounds good.
