[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 93969, member: 1026"] Ah, those runflats!. How do you like or dislike them ?. I generally dislike them at this stage due to high cost and poorer traction offered, not to mention very noisy tires when pushed hard. I can see merit in convenince and safety in case of puncture. But I am willing to take the trade-offs of a conventional tire buying a high-quality with very predictable traction that I know. I see many 1-series buyers absolutely hating the run-flats that causes a harsh ride with the sports suspension. In such a case, I think BMW engineers too it "too far" in their quest for optimum handling at the greater (to me, at least) expense of ride comfort. If anyone wanted serious suspension, just buy adjustable coilovers like Bilstein PSS9, adjust to full soft for street and full hard for track. I can only accept runflats if they can fix the cost problem and traction problems. I personally think BMW is "forcing" people by going runflats without giving customer a choice of normal tires and rims. [/QUOTE]
