The performance was adequate and fuel economy was better with these tires than the ones I had before. The tread wear was fairly ok, the rears (On RWD car) lasted 20k miles and the fronts lasted 25k and still had tread on them however all the tires were showing signs of cracking well before the tread was used up which is disappointing from 3 year old tires.

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 316d drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I reluctantly mounted two Laufenn iFit Plus tires on the rear axle of my BMW F31 316d. They replaced a set of Kleber winter tires after one unexpectedly succumbed to a pothole. The Laufenns have far exceeded my expectations in winter conditions. They perform exceptionally well on both snow and ice, providing excellent traction. If you look for winter tires, I highly recommend them—not only is their performance outstanding, but their price-to-quality ratio is probably the best you can get.
2 years and 15000 miles in, my tires are cracked between the tread blocks, still have 3-4mm tread on them, this is really disappointing, won't recommend anyone to buy them
One of the BEST tires i ever had. The tire sticks BMW to the road in curves. One word - FANTASTIC.
I fitted these this winter and i love them, although being RFT comfort is still good, not much rougher than non RFT i imagine that standard is very comfortable, dry grip is as expected good as winter tire gets, but the best part is wet and slush grip, i am really surprised by the level of confidence i get from them, even on rwd car, snow traction is excellent, compared to Nokian WR D3 i had before and i was quite satified with them, these are in another galaxy when it comes to putting your confidence in tire to keep you safe.
Run flat version. Very harsh. Good wear rate and dry grip but found slippery in the wet and despite many attempts at balancing struggled to get them them to settle, they just seemed skittish and unpredictable Replaced early.
Replaced the rears with these tires and immediately noticed improved grip and reduced road noise. Not as harsh as the run flats they replaced and will be replacing the fronts with these tires soon. First BMW and so far have no complaints with run flats. Too early to review the wear but surely they must be better than the Firestone/Dunlop they replaced as you could literally see the deterioration week by week as they came close to the tread wear limit..
