Had these on My E39 530D for around 2 years, not bad in many ways but the feeling and noise from the road can be horrid.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What BMW 530D M sport drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
My BMW 530D had come with a staggered setup 245/45 r18 and 275/40 r18. Came with Goodyear RFTs which I had a terrible time with on our Indian roads. Had to change two tyres within the first 7500kms.
After getting fed-up with them I had shifted to these dunlops and I have only good things to say about them. Much more comfortable considering these are regular tubeless and not RFTs, wear is also great, I've used them for 40k kms now before looking for a next set.
However only negative would be that though there is tread depth still left(above the change marker), the compound seems to have deteriorated causing a lot of wheel spin.
Also noticed a lot of micro punctures(approximately 2 every month) at this stage.
However these tyres we're super cheap compared to the other tyres on offer, had great durability (considering Indian roads) and good grip levels (never had a nervous moment).
A thumbs up from my side

A thumbs up from my side
Got told these tyres are a B rating for wet grip. Not sure who lied but they are terrible! Pulled onto the roundabout and had to apply opposite lock as the arse end tried to overtake me. As for dry grip, I pulled out of a junction briskly and left half the tread behind. Paid £90 a tyre for these. Would rather spend £60 like the last set and have them on for another 15k miles.
This is a first for me to buy budget tires.
I have to say i am very impressed with the grip and the handling and the comfort much better than the Bridgestone they have replaced.
I don't do reviews but when i was buying these i looked at the reviews and it was a bit mixed, so all i have to say is i have put two tyres on my BMW530d for less than the cost of one from a brand name, and they are brilliant.
i can't tell you how happy i am with them

Excellent tyres,much better then I was expecting.I had Pirelli Pzero runflat (18 inches) before and I can definitely say that Vredestein handles much better.
DON'T buy these tyres.
Worst experience ever - not worth it.
Dangerous in wet and zero comfort.
Had to replace a number of these due to tyre wall bubbles appearing without any physical damage accruing to them.
Fitted on F11 530d, very quiet compared to summer Dunlop's, have about 2 mpg average loss since fitting though. Feel a lot more confident in the wet, traction control used to be used all the time before and now after 2000 miles I haven't seen it flash on once!
Not sure about the wear but I don't care because its all about safety. When I say safety I mean it does grip very well in dry and also wet. I've 290bhp BMW (rear wheel drive of course) and no issue. I dont see why pay double the price for Michelin and other "good" brands. Will definitely buy again but i can see that price is going up. obviously tyre maker know's its good and selling more every day.
I bought these for my bmw 530d for the front.
i used to have Hankook ventus s12 evo2 and then goodyear f1 as 3 which lasted a good 43k miles and were very good tyres, low noise, comfortable so i was hesitant to try a make i have never heard of before.
These tyres feel fantastic. they are pretty much the same ratings as the goodyear, they handle very good, they are a soft tyre which suits my car but handles me throwing it around without any issue or squeal.
the tread is nice and deep which inspires confidence.
If you are not sure if you should try these tyres, i highly recommend them.
(all that being said, i do have a vibration on my car but it done it with previous tyres also even after a road force balance.)
