I think you'll also find that cars that come with runflats don't always come with a spare tire. I think the US market gets a spare included but it may be optional in other countries...

They do if you lower the xi and drive on 19's or 20's during the Summer only!

Yeah, and then only if you don't use the dealer you used to do the mounting and balancing!

Where can I check this? I have an 08 535xi and it doesn't say anywhere (on the tire itself, owners manuals, web site) that the tires are run flats. I'm kinda new to this but shouldn't it say "Eagle RS-A EMT" or "run flat" somewhere?

My car came standard with non-RFT's even with the xi Sport Pkg(17" wheels).
Hope this helps.
