I was sceptical before I bought, and made a phone call to BMW HQ in Melbourne, who advised the tyre is suitable and no issues with the width and speedo readings.
I've had Michelins and Pirelli's on the car, and have now given Kumho's a go. Who knows, I might try something else next (but not Pirelli's!!).
Anyway, I'll likely get the alignment checked. Thanks for the input.

Checkout the michelin super sports, I've never tried them, but they receive great feedback
I run 10" race wheels with 275 slicks and found I can't run any wider otherwise the sidewalls buckle and get sloppy. Usually 265 is the widest recommended for a 9.5" rim, so it might be a factor if the KU31's have a softer sidewall
What problem did you have with pirelli out of interest?
