245/50/19 ?

Picked up a new to me f25 35i the tires on it are 245/45/19 on the 369M rims. However they’re not run flats and there’s no spare for this car. I saw a great deal on some runflats but they’re 245/50/19 would those fit the car without issues aside from speedometer inaccuracy?

Thanks!

If your F25 came with 245/45/19 tires you got the wrong size tires. Standard size is 245/50/19 and speedo is calibrated to this tire diameter. The 245/45/19 is under 3% diameter size compared to 245/50/19. That is a safety issue and can cause future mechanical problems. If it was 1% or less then it would be okay. BMW can reject any warranty repairs because of the incorrect tire size. Bring it back to where you purchased the vehicle and insist on the proper tire size.

Sorry, the standard size is 245/45/19. Upgrading to 245/50/19 would still give you 3% difference.
