When i did some searches here, results shown for the N52 a square 235/40/17 is "the best", 245/40/17 if one desire more grip and for x-cross and serious track 255s all round on 17s.
245/35s are out of the question for me, no one makes a track day tire in Germany that size except Federals and their 595RS-RR which are not legal (unless you enter competition).

I would agree that 265 tires are quite a bit of rubber for the 125i/128i. The best track setup for that car in my opinion would be the 17x8.5" ET40 with 235/40-17 or 245/40-17 tires. Camber will be required for both, but the reduction in unsprung weight, cheaper tires, and the rotatable squared setup will prove very effective  |
Just out of curiosity why not 17x8 et42 or et45 square?
