From what I gather, tyres with BMW branding, that may or may not have slightly different specs to the regular version. Looks like another excuse for BMW to sell you something at a markup. 

Anyone who'd be concerned about that is probably pretty clueless or looking for a cheap excuse to negotiate the price down.

Star rated tyres are tyres from companies that the car come out from factory with. Having them can make a difference when it comes to how the transfer case reacts during cornering etc. Less of an issue in the e53 but more prodominate in the e70/83 and f15/25
