Ive had runflats (EMT) on my vette for years. Handy a few times (caught a
nail once) just kept driving to my tire place 15 miles away and it was
repaired. I now have 06 325xi with them. again no spare needed, reality: her
bmw has roadside assistance anyway, and how likely is or would you want her
to change tire on the roadside. they are a good thing.

Does anybody have experiences to share with runflat tires? We ordered
a 328XI Sports wagon for the wife last week. Great car. I am jealous
at all the standard stuff she gets compared to what was optional when
I bought my 325xi 5 years ago (she even gets angel eyes, which you
only could get on the 5 series back then). They all come standard with
run flat tires (at least here in the US), which sounds great from what
the dealer told us, but I have no experience with these. There is no
spare tire, which offers quite some extra room in the cargo bay.
I don't know anybody here either that has ever had a car with run
flats.
Not that we seem to have a choice, but I am still curious to hear
about experiences from others with these.

Thanks
