Can you advise what the correct tyre pressures are for my BMW 530i when carrying a heavy load?

I am about to head off to the south of France with the family in our BMW 530i Sport Touring (2003) and have seen the tyre pressure on the door saying 2.8 bar front and 3.3 bar rear - assuming heavy load, which we will have with three children and roofbox. I run Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres all round and am worried that 40 and 47lbs is too great a pressure. I cannot find any information from Pirelli regarding recommended tire pressures. Can you please advise?

I have also tried to confirm via Pirelli, but cannot. In light of that would suggest that you contact your main BMW dealership and get them to double check.
