Ideal Tire pressure

Gents new owner of a '11 e93 OEM 19's, on the contisport contact3's. Came out of a 2008 997S so am used to performance sports cars, and know how sensitive they are to subtle changes in tire pressure. On that car, after talking to various people, came to realize an "ideal" tire pressure for spirited driving around town was not at all what was indicated in the book (those pressures tend to be the "middle of the road" to balance tire life,comfort, etc. I simply want the best handling....tires are simply the cost of owning a sports car.

Was curious from those of you that have had your cars for a bit, with the stock 19's, what tire pressures you are running? I am not DE'ing the car at all, but do enjoy "driving" my car around town, so am looking for what people have found to be the ideal pressure.

Thanks much
