Tire Rack lists the Michelin Primacy HP ZP or the Bridgestone Turanza EL 42 RFT as standard on the 128i 'vert w/o SP.

I have the EL42s on my 328i wagon and they are much improved over the originals. And in 13 years of driving various BMWs with 17" wheels (on some of the nation's worst roads), I've never had to replace either a wheel or tire due to damage.
Since you are getting 16" wheels, I wouldn't spend the money on the tire/wheel insurance - unless you routinely drive into potholes at high speed.
