actually on second thought, it might be T005 Turanza 19s, which looks like a Grand Touring Summer Tire RFT...
I believe this is the current list of tires used for 20” wheels for the M550i from the factory:

Run-flat
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 summer
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 summer
Pirelli Pzero PZ4 summer
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 summer
Bridgestone RE050A summer
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT summer

Non-Run-Flat

Bridgestone Potenza S007 summer
Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer

Ordering the non-run-flat tire option with the 668M wheels requires the spare tire. The spare and the raised platform used to cover it do take up trunk space, especially if you are using suitcases for a trip. There is a considerable loss in height/depth. The good thing is the spare tire, the platform and foam inserts can easily be removed in minutes, no tools required. The floor panel will fit back in the trunk to be exactly like the run-flat version.

These are photos of my trunk with the spare:
