Hi, I'm running Milein Pilot Supersports on the rear of my 1M, I think they are 265 Width

I'm told by my local tyre shop that Michelin dont make a Pilot Supersport for the 245/45/ZR 19 fronts

It has Pilot Sports on it but they say that Michelin dont make a BMW fitment Pilot Sport

Confused

Can anycone confirm what tyres BMW would have put on the car when new?

I don't know the OEM spec, but you can use a 40 profile tyre on the front:

I'd be surprised if they had a 45 profile on the front. This is a US site, but think it would be applicable to your car too:

Same size as the E92 M3, so 245/35/19 and 265/35/19.

Should be plenty of Michelin Super Sport available, otherwise upsize to 255/35/19 and 275/35/19.

There's a sever shortage on certain PSS sizes at the moment nationally. Next production run is early / mid July.
