About this generation
This generation of the 5 Series runs on 19-inch or larger wheels in some trims, which means short-sidewall tyres that handle precisely but are less forgiving on rough UK roads.
Trims of the 2017-2023 BMW 5 Series use noticeably different tyre widths. The size on your sidewall is the only definitive answer for your specific car.
Chassis code: G30. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a BMW 5 Series?
On a BMW 5 Series, premium tyre brands (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically deliver longer tread life, better wet grip and quieter rolling. The cost difference is usually recouped over the tyre's life.
What's different about the 2017-2023 5 Series compared with other generations?
This is the 2017-2023 generation of the BMW 5 Series. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
What do star/OEM markings mean on BMW 5 Series tyres?
BMW approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.
What does the chassis code G30 mean for tyre choice?
The G30 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the BMW 5 Series. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
What should BMW 5 Series drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.

Always confirm your tyre size, load rating, speed rating and vehicle requirements using your current tyre sidewall, vehicle handbook, manufacturer guidance or a qualified tyre fitter before fitting.
