Yes, and I think comfort and sportiness are the main advantage of the non-runflats. You feel it every mile you are driving the car. So for me the runflats are not really logical, that surplus with the better safety and mobility in case of a puncture costs us the daily comfort and the sportiness during the whole cars lifetime.

Other companies like Alpina (BMW based more exclusive cars) never sell cars with runflats and that is also their argumentation. And for the M235i you must order runflats as a zero cost option here in Germany if you want some. So it seems that BMW also did a change in their strategy here.

Anyway, I am looking forward to hear from you in this thread once you did the change and report us your experience.
