About the BMW 5 Series's tyres
BMW SA's executive sedan has been sold here in four generations since 2003, the 520d diesel being the volume seller in each. The current G60 520d and 530i come with the M Sport package and 19-inch wheels as standard, running a staggered 245/45 R19 front and 275/40 R19 rear with no spare. Earlier G30, F10 and E60 cars mostly sit on 17-inch 225/55 R17 or 18-inch M Sport wheels.
Before you order, check the size on the sticker inside the driver's door or on your current tyres: derivatives and wheel options change the size. Read how to read a tyre size or when to replace tyres.
