My Ride: 535ixT � On Order: 2010 E61, Ordered 1/05, Est. Birth 3/09, Est. Delivery 4/09, Carbon Black, Cream Beige Dakota Leather, Steptronic, M-Sport Pkg., Type 135 18
Model Year: 2010
Great looking car - you make me envious. My new E61 is "Awaiting Transport" and should be here in late March early April. 
Would you keep is posted on the price you receive for our runflats. I too would like to ditch mine and would like to know what is reasonable to expect for dismounted RFs.
As I am retired and live in coastal CT, i would like to replace them with 245/40ZR-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS. The Bridgestones are W-rated all season tires that worked very well on my 2006 530xiT. The alternative is to use the RFs until November and then make the switch.
You can PM me with your info should you wish. Thanks

Beautiful ride!
I pick my titanium silver 535i xdrive up May 4th.
I'm also getting the m sport package. I take it the package comes with runflats. Since you didn't mention more than one size tire, I'm assuming that the wheels are not staggered. Is this true? I've seen a limited amount of detailed information about the m sport package.
Another mod I would consider would be the m5 mirrors. They're expensive, but wow do they change the look of the car!
Enjoy!

My Ride: 2009 535xi Platinum Gray. M sport, Premium, Cold, Logic, PDC, Sirius, and Bamboo.
M-sport on both the 535xi and 535 i comes non-staggered 245/40-18
ZSP comes staggered 245/40-18 and 275/35-19
So much for the argument that staggered somehow really matters.

***Are you sure about that, can someone confirm this...brochure/ordering guide...something....
ZSP comes staggered 245/40-18 and 275/35-19
***really, they come with 18" wheels in the front and 19" wheels in the back?

according to this site http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/
that wheels does not come as a staggered set-up
wonder if for a 535i you can just opt out for some staggered 124's then
