The F31 335d it replaced was probably the kindest on tyre wear of any car I've ever had and that's quite a few as I've been driving almost 40 years! As I said earlier in the thread, that car would easily get 20k miles from a set and the tyre wear was also pretty even across all four wheels; I was fully expecting the M340i to be very similar but given the comments above perhaps not?

Interestingly the recommended tyre pressures for my car on Michelin's website are 36 psi front and rear which is slightly lower than the 39 suggested on the label on the door pillar inside the driver's door. From memory I always used to run my F31 at around mid-30's so given some of the comments on here I think I might adopt Michelin's recommendation for my G21; 39 does seem a touch on the high side for normal, unladen, use.
My expectations were the same. My 435d was ok with the tyres.
