Sounds about right to me, OEM recommendation is typically best balance for wear and handling. Be aware, RFTs at low pressures are likely to wear much faster on the shoulders, so don't be tempted to run low pressures for a 'softer' ride. It doesn't work.

Rears typically wear much faster on a RWD BMW anyway, regardless of pressure. Always been the way and if we don't, or can't rotate, we replace rears much more often.
