I heard a good option is the Michelin PSS. The car is a 2011 335xi on stock suspension. This is a gift for my wife so any and all tire size/brand help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I'm running MPSS 265/30 R19 on my rear 9x19 ET39 OEM 313 rims. I couldn't be more happy. It's a really good performing tyre in both wet and dry.

But we are talking about a X-drive car, I beleive that having the same diameter in rear and front is important!
If you are planning on replacing the front tyres aswell, and the rim is 8" wide I would suggest MPSS 235/35 R19 for the front

Yes I was told to keep all 4 wheels and tires the same size for the xdrive. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm probably going to head in that direction

On 19x9 ET35, go with a 245/35 all the way around.
I'm running 245/35 up fron on a 19x9 ET35 (pre-LCI sedan).

Any narrower than a 245 you will have a stretch.

Any good sources on these tires, I'm new to the whole wheel and tire world. Any vendors with military discount?

Stupid question here but what do the first and second set of numbers mean? Width/height?

Width in millimeters and ratio of width to sidewall. So a 245/35R19 tire means the tire is 245 mm wide, the sidewall is 35% of 245mm, and the rim opening is 19".
