333M 20" Alloys - anyone changed to non run flats!?

I might do when my tyres wear down, depending on price difference.
I did on my 335d and it made the car feel so much better.

The difference is vast. A much smother ride, less stotty (if that is a word) and a lot quieter on the road as well. Maybe something to keep in mind, you may want to inform your insurance company as you are modifying the vehicle from factory standard. I called my insurance company and they said "it didn't make a difference to my premium but I did the right thing by calling them" up to you whether you tell them or not but in this day and age of them looking for any reason not to pay out then is it worth taking a chance?

I was always tempted but didn't want any excuse for BMW emergency services not to come out to me because I'd changed the car from Std if I had tyre problem!
Good point re insurance because it will alter the dynamics of the car and again I wouldn't want them to have a reason not to pay out!
