When I test drove the m240i, I had a lot of tire squeal to which I immediately asked my husband to check tire pressures. They were all 45lbs which is pretty excessive to me and overblown tires do not give you grip. I'm not even sure if they were rft or not but regardless I got the chpt package on my order and will be fitting winter tires once she arrives. I expect less squeal and more grip depending on my set up.
Cars are usually shipped from the factory with overinflated tires to prevent the formation of flat spots as the car sits during/waiting for transportation. It sounds like the dealer you test drove at did not bring the tires down to normal pressure when prepping it.
