For the US, all 135i coupes have the sport suspension standard, and come with 215/40/18 and 245/35/18 ti(y)res.

Just got new shoes for my 125 coupé. My car had GoodYear 205/17/50 RFTs from factory. New shoes are Bridgestone's new Potenza S-001 3rd generation RFTs. they come a bit wider 225/17/45.
the ride quality has enormesly improved with this RFT technology, car is much much smother now. Love these tires.

here's a link so you can see the tires in action:

PSA bump!

Preferences aside. RFT tread life is still awful.

I know people are always complaining about the ride with runflats, but I got a flat last year and was able to drive to get a new tire. I'll consider something different (PSS) when these wear out, but for now, I'm happy to have them.
