The review for the 3's seems very similar to the 5's, though:

That said, it does seem like BMW is either unloading old tires they had in stock, or they got a deal from Continental if they were trying to unload some tires.

It's a supply problem from Michelin.

Has to be. But how can they do that switch if the MPSS is the tire they are advertising for the car?

There is not that M2 going around and surprise to hear there is a supply problem on such a low volume car

The MPSS had had supply issues for a long time. Some Porsche folks have waited months for replacement tires.

Do you remember where they're promoting MPSS? I'm looking at the specs page on BMW USA and all it says is:

"Double Spoke black, forged light alloy wheels (Style 437M), 19 x 9.0 front, 19 x 10.0 rear; and 245/35 front, 265/35 rear performance tires."

Looks like they only advertise 2-series/M240i with MPSS for MY17:

This is what I have been saying since learning about the switch. Every review that I have read about the M2 seems to add how the PSS tires add to the ride with some saying it was part of the design or something to that effect.
