I'm not super excited about the idea of buying an entire second set at a $5k price point to avoid constantly changing tires on the same wheels. I hate all the mess it makes with the balancing weights.

Yes, it is an xDrive 40i. below is a good source to compare the tire sizes:

The iDrive has been configured to look for a different tires that have different sidewall measurements than what is listed on the menu, so most likely I'll be fine.
Worst case scenario, I'll put the original tires back, if I get any warning down the road. I can always sell the Michelin tires on Craigslist for a cheaper price. I gain a smoother and better ride IMHO, If the car doesn't complain.
