Sorry  Can't help you with the tire pressure question. I haven't 
experimented much with pressures yet.

As for oil, I took my 318ti in for it's first oil change( ~ 1200 miles) to 
a dealer and they used Shell Rotella-T 15W-40. I'm in North Carolina where 
the lowest temp in dead of winter rarely drops below 0.

Are those the tires that came with your ti? Mine came with Dunlop 225/50's.
