woah! take a step back, my man!
my post was addressing the OP's concern by inferring that Porsche OE tires installed on his BMW will be fine on 'real world' roads. It wasn't even directed at you specifically, so i don't know why you think I'm recusing your knowledge of tire use (or anything for that matter)
The BMW "star" OE tires may matter depending who you are and what/where you drive. look before you leap, bruh

Thanks for dropping this video.
My take away is what, most people aren't going to notice a difference. But those individuals who take their cars to the track (especially M cars) will notice.
In my case, my wife drives an X5 40i with staggered 21" wheels. BMW sends these X5s out with one of three tires (Continental, Pirelli, or Hankook).
Her car is a daily driver/grocery getter, so I'm not worried about getting exact OEM tires when they need to be replaced. Might even go up slightly to the Merc GLE450 tires.
