Hey guys, so I bought an 2007 E90 320d. Now I need some run flats.
255/40R/F17 (94Y) Fronts and 225/45R/17 (91V) rears. Any very good con used out there? Any directions most welcomed.
It's got the M-sport kit so looks well enough. What I do want to do is change the standard yellow front lights (non-xenon) to white lights. Didn't really want to upgrade entire Lamps and mess with the electronics. Guidance sought...

Re: BMW E90 run flats needed.
I would ditch the Runflats, I had them on my E60 5 series and swapped them out for normal tyres. @£100 each instead of £200 for run flats. It transformed the ride quality by 100%
The 5 series had space for a doughnut spare, maybe the 3 series doesn't., but the wife's TT and daughters fiesta, and the sons 1 series on standard type tyres don't come with spare tyres.
Some people inject the tyre fix gel in there for little money.
Regarding the yellow lights, as set of HIDS will set you back about £60/70 but will transform the headlights compared with the OEM halogens, and you get the white light. Change the angel eye front markers to LED to match, not an expensive mod and looks miles better. HIDS DIRECT have all the bulbs, no need to change the headlights.
