Fitment comes from each tire'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.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat 225-45-17- BMW 323 Touring 5,000 miles March 23, 2016

Inherited them on the car with approx 70% tread still on the tire.
I found them very noisy on the front at motorway speeds. Wet weather was 'ok'. Car at times 'tramlined' when doing slight steering adjustments at medium speeds (I understand that this is a run flat trait).
I lived, ultimately in denial, that they were ok for about 5000Km's until finding a set of 4 Conti Sport 2's on sale. The Conti's make the car feel how it should. Nice and quiet, and nice handling too.
Not going back to Potenza run flats. Have had Potenza non-runflats on another car (Volvo V50) & they were ok...

Falken FK452 225-50-16-W BMW 323 Touring 2,000 miles August 25, 2013

Noisy and lethal in the wet. These were on a set of wheels I bought. Michelins on the front highlight how appaling these tires really are.

Kleber DYNAXER HP2 205-60-15- BMW 323 Touring 10,000 miles December 30, 2012

These worked a treat on my E36, very secure wet or dry. In the snow they can be a bit of a handful but they are summer tires. Wear rate too high though averaging 12000 miles a set.
