I see that this Msport variant now has Michelin PS4! Much needed and awaited move for them to switch out of run flats.

Cant be PS4 Tubeless. It might be Pilot Sport 4 ZP. ZP = Zero Pressure = Runflat.

You can vaguely make out the ZP on the front tyre.

It is indeed Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ZP.
ZP stands for Zero Pressure. Michelin marketing term for RFT.
Just like Continental call its runflat SSR - Self Supporting Runflat.
BMW supplies tubeless only in proper //M cars like M2, M3, M4, etc. Surprisingly RFT are sold for safety but not used on //M cars. rl:
Auto journalist Sirish Chandran posted couple of pictures of the 530i LCI on his Instagram page.
They forgot to make it ugly, the grill is still a decent size. How could they??
It is interesting to see that BMW is still keeping the 350NM torque tune of the B48 petrol engine in the 530i, while providing the 400NM tune in the 330i. Seems a bit inverted in my view. The power is also 8 PS down in the 5 (252 PS versus 258 PS in 330i). I wonder if this is for fuel economy reasons. Any other explanations?
Another observation - the current M-Sport trims (especially the 530i) seems to be getting watered down on specs compared to the previous editions of the mSport Trim. Instead of the Milano leather, it only gets Sensatec Artificial Leather seat covers! It does get a larger 12 inch touchscreen, Better Laser Lights and 4 zone AC instead of 3 Zone. Overall not an exciting upgrade for LCI refresh. Prices have gone up significantly as well - The 530i Sportline I bought 4 years ago had real Dakota leather upholstery and most of the LCI 530i mSport features and costed only 49.99 lakhs.
