I run on Bridgestone Turanza and the dealer is now waiting for a respond from BMW how to proceed. I’m not sure that it’s only the tyres because I hear it also with my wintertyres but much quieter. I’m finding it very strange that they replaced a bad bearing and then said it also is the tyres! On a brand new car!
With the latest comments, and pictures... Looking for clues from earlier posts. Quoted post could be very relevant, as two different wheel sets were tried, one good, the same size the same noise.

Do you know what wheel size was tried that were quiet? 19" by any chance?
