My 09 came with Bridgestones!!
I just got back from doing my ED and it appears that my car has Bridgestones on it. I thought all 09s had Michelin's. What can I do when my car is redelivered?
I have a 335i coupe 6MT. |

There is nothing you can do. The car will just be delivered with whatever tires the maker puts on there. On another note, I thought they were either Continental or Bridgestone tires? I believe it's only Michelin on the M3 models.

Not all 09's have the Pilot Sport Runflats. I dont think we know for sure yet why some cars come with them and some cars dont. Either way, you cant do anything so live with it

Much better than the Potenza A/S that was on my E90. However, still feels very, very heavy, and the ride is harsh (less harsh than the Bridgestones). I think they are almost as rough as my 19" PS2 non-RFTs.

BMW's preferred tire for the non-M's are still Bridgestones. There was only a small batch of cars that were equipped with Michelin's. Your car came with the correct set of tires.
The Bridgestones are excellent performing tires (minus the ever so slightly harsher ride than the PS2 ZP's). I actually like the performance of the Bridgestones over the PS2's. PS2's have softer sidewalls and tend be be squirmy in certain situations.
