Please see the attached photo after a health check about a month ago to see the current setup, haven't changed anything since I got the car.
Looking for value for money please, cant afford £250/tyre. If anyone could advise me of any good tyres around £90/tyre that would be appreciated biggrin

accelera... No wait don't fit those. Previous owner of my 318 fit them... I hate them with a passion, but can't really replace yet due to other financial commitments!

Grab a new pair of Falkens to replace the ditchfinders and then you have a matching set. Stick them on the rear as they'll wear more quickly than the fronts. You'll then likely need a full set in about 15-20k miles or so

Should be able to get kumho ecsta PS71 in budget which is a good tyre.

Whatever you choose, ditch the rear run flats for improved comfort.

The falkens are a very good tyre, ideally with xdrive you should have matching tyres all round

I'd ditch the mismatched pair and replace with falkens (currently £98 online)

Fyi I run Falken FK520 Azenis on my Xdrive without any issues

Same car as me. I went for Goodyear Eagle 1s (£690 for four. Appreciate more than what you wanted to spend).

Someone has said about replacing the years. Mine are wearing eveningly across all four tyres.
