You are comparing two different tyre types with the Winter M+S and the normal Energy Savers.

Your tyre is the same size and the same Load Index (key factor) as the one on the door placard, just a higher Speed Rating, so as close as you can get really.

I was surprised how high BMW run the ED model tyre pressures, 320d ED is the same, high pressures even for normal use. All part of getting the fuel economy.
