Interestingly its not Michelin that sets the tyre pressures but BMW themselves. It certainly appears that they choose a slightly lowish pressure for everyday driving to aid comfort and ride quality - add five lbs to the std pressures to feel a distinct improvement in turn-in response during fast direction change.
High pressures are recommended for high speeds to reduce the tendency for the center part of the tyre tread to balloon out.
