Well I am finally free from my Runflats
I got my Style M 172 BMW wheels mounted on Friday with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres, and the difference is amazing
It is like driving a brand new and different car all together
Despite being an even lower profile than I had before with the M 135 Rims, the ride is much smoother. I no longer feel all those tiny road imperfections and bumps to the same degree. Obviously you still feel them to a degree, but at least it is now like a damped or gentle feeling, rather than a harsh jolt.
Here are some pics (please excuse the poor lighting):
Note: I still have the same 15mm H&R Spacers on the rear.

Nice, those just might be the best looking wheel for the E60.
Have you tried without the rear spacers?
It almost seems like the tires are too wide now

Your ride has to be one of the sweetest UK cars I have seen. I need to get those spacers for my'25 (E60). Where can I get these? I have the 124 wheels (18") and I am sure the 275s at the rear will really stand out. Will post pics soon. Thanks
