Open your front driver door, turn your head to the right and look at the sticker on the door jam. It’ll have that psi

Door jam has recommended factory pressure, you can go higher to what it says on the tire too, or lower even, do it all the time with my truck, i keep a compressor for that very reason.

In the BMW id go with what the door says.

Run flats typically have higher psi ratings, see door jam and know whether the BMW came with run flats and whether or not you currently have them.

Those ratings are for the tire that came with the car.

Protip: some legit shops will fill with nitrogen and then put green caps on the valves. If you have green caps do not just add air. Take it somewhere that can use nitrogen. Otherwise you lose the benefits of nitrogen.

At least he's actually asking. Can't imagine how many dumb fuks are behind the wheel daily who haven't done a thing to their car in probably 5+ years. Older drivers and people with ratchet arse cars scare me the most.
