I usually go by what it says it in the Owner's Manual... If look at page 235/236, you can find this info too.

If you have two rows of seats; 32 psi in the front and rear
If you have three rows of seats; 32 psi in front and 35 psi in rear

I did have mine higher, at around 35 psi, but did not notice any difference when I lowered it to these recommended levels. Can't think of a reason that I would not follow BMW's recommendations on tire pressures...
