Tyre Pressure Placard Photos -F30 LCI 320i/328i xDrive Touring

I am looking for photo(s) of the door jam placard and/or owner manual pages for a UK/Euro F30 LCI 320i/328i xDrive Touring regarding correct tyre pressures for all the various wheel and tyre sizes.

I have a new 330i xDrive Wagon (Touring) on order in the States (I'm based here now) and the tyre pressure info offered to U.S. buyers is limited. I'll be running winter wheels/tyres and may drop down to a 16-inch OEM winter setup. Unfortunately, BMW USA offers no tyre pressure info for 16-inch wheels/tyres.

Thank you for your help.

-Marc

The x28/30i xDrive also isn't available in this market. So, info from a 20i xDrive owner is your best hope.

Though, as many members on this forum have the large brake pack, the chances of 16's being listed are unfortunately low.

I know a standard 30d with normal brakes is a 17" wheel minimum. So, a 30i may be the same... Though being a lighter car you may get smaller brakes and get away with 16's.

F30series 320D's or less without MS brakes can take 16's. 330d's cannot

Thank you. That seems to agree with my research.

Digging into the BMW UK site, a 320i Touring is "approved" for 16-inch wheels but a 328i Touring is not. My understanding is that 16-inch wheels do fit on a 328i (330i for late 2016+ build date—2017 model year—for USA) xDrive Touring but they must be not approved by BMW.

Hopefully a UK/Euro owner of a 320i (either xDrive or not xDrive) Touring can supply me with a photo of their door jam placard or owner manual pages (and they list 16-inch wheels).

Thanks.
