On 18", the service description will be 93Y Front and 97Y rear. On the 19" it will be 93Y front and 98Y rear. That still does not completely narrow it down, you have to ask for the BMW OEM tires, which will have a little star on the sidewall. If you do not get the BMW version, it is not the end of the world, all of them are good, but the "star" tires are preferred as they have been tweaked to whatever specs BMW requested.

When you go outside of the stock sizes, obviously BMW OE tires are not generally available.
