Tires overinflated by dealer?
I took delivery of a new 330i xDrive last week. I checked the tire pressure before starting out in the morning one day, and noticed the tires were inflated to 39 Front/43 Rear. Recommended pressure is 32/38. I knocked the pressure down to 34/40.
Any reason why the dealer would have overinflated the tires?

The tires are always overinflated during the shipping process. The dealer should check and deflate the tires to the proper pressure prior the delivery to the customer.

They're too lazy to do a proper PDI when new car arrives. I just got a new 2020 430i loaner car with 41-43 psi.
