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 330d SE drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
The road sound is unbelievable and despite the amount of rubber on the road I didn't feel too confident on grip especially wet.
(they are not totally out of tread, but i want new ones before the winter)
they tram line like no other tire i have used, for that reason i shall not be buying them again, they are on the noisy side as well.
MY BMW 330d touring (estate) stuck to the road quite well on the supplied Pirelli P 6000s but suffered quite badly from steering wander/tramlining. A pair of Rain Sport 2 tires fitted to the front made a dramatic improvement to the steering and also a noticeable improvement to the ride comfort.
As it's not possible to safely drive a car like this, close to the tire limit, on a public road I can't comment on high end performance but with my previous experience of Uniroyal's I feel safer and expect them to last reasonably well. I'll report back if there are any major problems.
A lot of tire shops don't stock Uniroyal's but most can get them if asked.
Grip from a standstill isnt great - they regularly set the TC light going when starting on even slight hills. similarly accelerating hard into 2nd (40-ish) mph the light can still be flashing.
if the road is even a little damp they let go quite freely
They are quiet though which is nice, and i feel confident braking hard with them, they also dont feel like the side wall moves as much as the bridgestones i had on last but because i know how slippy they are while accelerating i dont feel confident to take some bends as quick as i would have on the old bridgestones
