As has been mentioned, it is not advised to mix RFTs with non run-flats, even axle wise. There can also be insurance implications.

Playing with high tyre pressures is not the real answer, could build in other strange characteristics, possibly even more dangerous at the limits.

Changing the front tyres is the proper solution. OP says they are ~3mm, so at a depth many BMW drivers will be changing. At this time of the year, a good idea anyway.
