Tires Toyo or OEM BMW
Bit late, but I've ran Extensa HP II's on my car for the last 45,000 miles and just bought another set as my tread is down to the wear indicators. Wife's Passat also has the same tires. They've been great.
Toyo m588 16 ply or Goodyear work horse we run em on mixers and have decent luck with them lasting the life of the tire.
I have Toyo AT3s open country on my 15’ Outback. They have been great so far (10k miles). They can be a little noisy but it’s worth it.
Wild peaks are pretty quiet, I run Toyo Open Country AT 3 on the rest of my vehicles, not saying more quiet but a good tire also
Toyo Open Country AT III. Comfortable ride, very quiet.
Went with Toyo Proxes R888Rs, 205/45/16s in the front and 225/45/16s in the rear. Quick run around the block and they felt great. They also look pretty good
Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.
Very good off-road tire.
And like all MT’s, not the greatest on-road.
And definitely not great in ice or snow.
The R888Rs are a terrible autocross tire, slower than the Super 200s and actually illegal for most street classes. If you are running in a class that allows R-comps, Hoosier A7s will be legal and are in another universe than the R888Rs in terms of grip.
At 30k they became useless when below freezing. Switched to Toyo Open Country and they've been great
