Has anyone moved from the run flats to non RFT on the 333M Alloys?

What tyres did you go for and was there a Huge amount of differnce in handling? I have the 7 seat option so cant have the spare tyre sp if I did go down this route it would mean tyre weald cans in the boot!

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!
