Litster, yes that's an option, but that would leave me without a spare while running regular tires. There is no spare with run flat tires. Although I can't remember the last time I had a flat, I wouldn't want to tempt fate. It would be just my luck...
Of all the E60 wheel options, I like those on the 545 sport the best. However, they still aren't knockout gorgeous. Depending what is available in aftermarket run flat wheels, I may mount my winter tires on the stock wheels and transfer the summer tires to the aftermarket ones.

Spoke to dealer today and was advised my order needs be in by friday this week for 530 sept build oct delivery in US. Claims BMW will shut down plant in August and therefore they need to order car early. I am not buying the reasoning. Dealer claims to have 4 530's avail to order in Sept and 8 525's 2 545's.
Also noticed a post on bimmerfest from a dealer stating that lumbar support will not be avail on release and Active Seats (already aware of HUD and Nav). Anyone know what Active seats means? they talking about active headrests?
Will a stike have a bearing on production or this just effect 3 series?

Litster, I stand corrected! I thought I had read somewhere that the E60 with run flats would have no sapre thereby increasing trunk space. This opens some possibilities for mounted winter tires.
Thanks...

Congrats, Scork!
Did you consider Active Cruise Control and Parking Assist? I don't think I want Active Cruise Control (I think regular cruise is standard, but not sure). But I think I will get Parking Assist.

Hi All
I am really considering the E60 (even though I am not too crazy about the design) but I will wait for the 535 to come out. I will most likely go Black with Cinnamon Leather, Sport package and nav. Even with all the criticism I always liked the New 7 series.
