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.

What BMW 520d Sport drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I’d have expected to get up to 25,000 miles on a set of Run Flats.
Bought as an emergency expected to have Sport Maxx repaired (non runflat) but poor batch from Mytires splitting and age cracking so had to fit the Accellera. Expected to find the nearest ditch, spent the first few days driving very carefully, but after careful testing I can confirm this tire to be surprisingly OK, similar is not slightly better grip than the SportMaxx, not as good as Hankook evo2,but better than the Conti (5?) runflats it came with from the factory.
With one remaining Maxx and the Accelera expected it to drive like a drunken 3 legged dog but little difference
Maxx not great in cold and wet for grip anyway compared to say Hankook s1 evo2 (excellent traction but wear little faster).
Coincidence? I think not.
