i wanna know too.....
btw....are everyone here (in aust) still using the Conti run flats?
my tires are nearly there (worn)......and considering options....(i've got the 19" 172 rims)....and here got not many choices...anyone got suggestion? many thanks
Ive had 3 different sets of wheels on the E60 so far:

17" type 138 style wheels with bridgestone potenza runflats
20" hamann race edition forge replicas with achilles sports
and currently 18" 124 style wheels with dunlop sport max

i must say the potenza runflats arent so smooth, they were nearly as bad as the achilles ones (cheapest of the cheapest tyres, nasty stuff!)
the ones i have now from dunlop (not runflat) are pretty good and must be the best so far.
my next change would probably be pirellis, i heard theyre one of the best (expensive too)
