I just had mine replaced under warranty.
My car had 26+K on the odometer. (granted I ran my snows for a while and I was waiting for almost 2 months until my dealer got the Dunlops in).
I got Dunlops again. These are much quieter and don't seem to wander nearly as much. We'll see how they hold up over the next few '000 miles.

I got new dunlops too and they are fantastic so far. Not at all like the old ones that tramlined and wobbled.
I really like these new ones and have every expectation that they'll be great. I'll let you know if otherwise.
Realtyman, what happened to your link 'vrooooooooom'? it says no such page available?

I'm getting my Dunlops replaced. My SA said they were ordering Bridgestones for me because they have had so many "problems" with the Dunlops. I was really expecting them to replace them with the new version Dunlops. This was about a month ago and the rear tires are still on back-order. I wonder if BMW has now determined that the improved version of the Dunlops is no better than the original?

I'm doing some major website work (moving servers, etc.) .
Must have blown the link.
I'll get it back up soon.

geesh! how ironic. I just called my SA yesterday and asked if the replacements were doing the same as the originals.. He said so far so good. but yet, with 5800 miles on these tires (very close to the 6k mark like my last set), I am starting to hear what I think is that same road roar. not loud enough just yet, but starting?

Anyone have their Dunlop runflats replaced for a SECOND time at East Bay BMW in Pleasanton, California? My tires are cupping AGAIN and my SA claims this is the first time they've had to replace a second set. Actually, the BMW rep is inspecting them today and he will have to approve the replacement.
