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.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Superb confort. Super grip on dry and wet. Best tires i’ve owned so far
excellent quality / price ratio, very comfortable (soft shoulder) and silent, good handling, lack a bit of precision at very high speeds ... stunning results given the price
Excellent tires, fitted to my BMW 5 series to the front axle - hardly any wear and road noise. Excellent grip. Previously had 4 on a performance car, the wear was consistent and never felt as though the tire would let go of the road.
Would recommend these, they are hard to find now.

Had a Sailun to the rear on BMW 5 Series (RWD) and after 2.5yrs & (15,000miles) I still have 6mm thread left. Very comfortable, durable and resilient tire. Mixture of motorway, A and B roads with usually a family of 4 at all times..I can recommend these tires highly.
I put 2 on rear wheels of my e60 bmw 5series, these replaced a leading brand and they are fantastic all round tire i was recommended these by a friend who uses them for track days on his tuned jap rwd cars. Fantastic everyday car for comfort when cruising to when you decide to show up some tadger in a crap boy racer car 😂
I am just about to buy 2 for the front as my car came with Haida tires on the front which are the most dangerous crap tires known to man
Front size 245/35/19
Rear size 275/30/19

I bought my bmw 525d e60 and it had these on the front, the first day driving in the wet i got the fright of my life when at low speeds around a roundabout these tires would not grip and i was heading straight for the kerb, luckily i managed to control the car before the worst, i instantly checked treads and all are nearly new, i have just replaced with nexen n fera su1 which i was recommended by a friend who builds and races cars, (nexen made this tire and sold for cheap to make a name fornthemselves against the big boys, much better than toyo, pirelli etc and cheap ) never will i have haida on my cars again
I really rate these tires, I used to swear by continental sport contacts but just couldn't justify the price and quick wear on a bigger tire. These are almost as good, not quite as progressive but unless you are really pushing it's not an issue. Wear much better than continentals, I've had them on the back for about 8000 miles now and they're showing very little sign of wear. Just got both fronts replaced as well and they make a huge difference.
**AVOID PURCHASE**
I do 95% motorway mileage (about 65 MPH) so very careful 2 hours a day.
These tires have only lasted 20k (All four!!!). 15k in I swapped the front tires with the back to even the wear. For me this is totally unacceptable, especially since it cost me £780 for all 4 and I do 20k miles a year.
Tram lining is a serious problem with these tires, you really notice it when changing lanes.
To be honest the grip is good, no where near the Michelin range.
Going for a set of Falken-ZE914's as the reviews seem to praise well for the price, full set £500 fitted.
