Having said all of the above I discovered this weekend that as far as run flat tyres go the NCT5's arent as bad as some. I sat in a 525i M Sport model which had Dunlop run flats (9000 miles on the clock) and the ride was much worse than with my NCT5's.

IMO, not a bad RF tire. May be the best rft. Except the fact that it has an awfull ride, bone breaking in fact...but what rft doesn't?
The road noise is acceptable...normal, and the grip...well it's ok as long as the temperature stays above 5 degrees Celsius. This morning at -1 it became very poor in traction. Almost all the time the dsc icon flushing at almost every acceleration. Of course i presume it's a summer tire so then again many tires loose tracion alot when temp drops. As soon as i get the 19s or 20s i'll switch to PS2.

My Ride: 2006 530xiT Titanium Silver, 6-speed Manual, new style Start/Stop ignition, Black Dakota Leather, anthracite maple wood trim, heated seats front and rear, heated steering wheel, headlight washers, automatic tailgate, auto dimming mirrors, Logic 7, 6-disc changer, sport seats, shadow line trim, rear sun blinds, PDC, adaptive xenons, 18" style 123 wheels, , navigation, voice control, bluetooth, BMW roof rack + bike attachments,
I have the nct's, and have found them to be fairly quiet and do not ride harshly, but they tramline badly. Sometimes I have to fight the steering wheel to keep it straight.

Well, I just wonted to share my experience with them (1.000 km) and I generally agree with you: a good RFT but could be obviously improved.
Just a good compromise for a RF.
