Hi mD!
Lol!

Using my handy PowerDog site, the newer tire set of 275 and 315s vs 285 and 325s, shows a difference of:

704 vs 696 revolutions per mile, (275/315s vs 285/325s)...about a 1% diff.

With the 'original size' of 285s/325s vs the proposed new size of 275s/315s,
the original set at 60 mph on a speedo would theoretically show 61 mph at same speed. Not biggie, imo.

And factor in that the BMW speedos are a tad optimistic anyway, and I wouldn't give it any concern.

Keep that new M under a buck and a half and between the fences.
Happy New Year, L
