Just wondering if there would be any issues (ABS) with changing stock front 245/40R19 to 255/35R19?
255 gives me more options finding matching set of staggered tyres. Also probably better rim protection.
Keeping rears at 275/35/R19.
Current front tyres are the very cheapest possible china tyres and they have to go! Fitted by previous owner.

As you're keeping the rear 275/35/19, I'd stay with 245/40/19 in the front. 255/35/19 will be over 2.5% smaller, and if it's an xdrive, it's a definite no.

I agree with you on the size - but a little tidbit of info is that in RHD F10/11 they were only ever RWD, no AWD was ever available

No XDrive required here.

I have an option on the PZ4, is it worth getting the *? or PZ4 for that matter.

Also, there are several part no's, which one is appropriate? Non runflat.

The * ones are original BMW that are customised for that specific use. That might mean better wear, more of a focus on dry performance or whatever other random things. But in 255/35r19 I can only think of the F80 M2/M3/M4 having come in that size so perhaps the customisation will be a good thing for the dry.

The other ones might be other manufacturer spec options but hard to say without a full list of specs
