BMW X1 E84 Runflat Tyres

I recently drove a BMW X1 2.0D M Sport 2013 model.
The car had the 19 inch BMW OEM alloys fitted with runflats.
I found the steering very heavy and wanted to ask if by changing to normal tyres will it help eradicate the heavy steering?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My new X5 4D M Sport

Having originally set out to purchase an X5M, I had to settle for a diesel :)) This car was fairly local to me so I made plans to go and have a look. I ended up buying the vehicle and in all honestly I feel this will be a better car come resale time than an X5M. There were a few things that stood ...

Re: BMW X5M

Right I have good news and bad news. Bad news first. Being that I am not a very patient person I am now no longer pursuing an X5M. There are none available with the spec I'm after, and it might be a while till one becomes available. Good news is that I went to look at a 4 litre D X5 in M Sport today ...

Re: BMW X5M

Thank you for the replies :hi: I am aware of the X5M in Ireland, I've had a look at the full spec of the car and this particular example only has a few optional extras. On BMW's approved used site they only have 5 of these cars for sale. It's quite a rare car, however i'm not in no rush and will ...
