Factory sizes can't be wrong.

The first 300 km, 200 miles according to the

I have an unusual case then.
Or do you mean those regular "AWD" (We know there are 4 mounted and no factory spare. This should make 4WD, precisely.
I hate the "AWD" term - it looks so stupid.) that are FWD with RWD added? xDrive is (isn't it?) unusual here as well.

I would expect higher pressure to amplify vibrations and lower pressure to absorb them. One shouldn't go wrong with recommended values (on the sticker in the driver's doorway): the
handbook, page 238.
And by the way, once the car hasn't been tested on other tires it can be really the transmission (not the tires) issue.
