One of the things that struck me re: E90 is that there are no spare tyres and also no space available for spare tyres. This is on grounds that E90 runs on run flats. Apparently, BMW insists that as a policy and no choice for customers. Frankly, I thought BMW should not 'force' the run flats down the throat of the consumers especially in the context of Malaysia. My views of run flats are as follows. There are many disadvantages: 1. Expensive2. Not comfortable as it will make the ride unncessarily harsher3. More importantly is that how many of Malaysia's tyre shops will stock run-flats? This means even though I have 150km to run in the event the tyre punctures, I may have still go back to AB for replacement as there are not many available in the tyre shops.  Given this in mind, I really feel that BMW Malaysia should not be so 'arrogant' in pushing the run flat tyres down our throats. What do you guys think? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
