Just spotted that I now have a choice for tyres other than the Dunflaps! The Goodyear F1's are now available in 275/35/18 
Must be better than the SP SPORT 01's?
I think I will be changing soon! I had F1's previously and was pretty happy with them...

My Ride: Jet Black 545i
All runflats ride pretty much the same. I had the Goodyears on my C5 Corvette. They have very stiff sidewalls so the ride is compromised no matter the tire brand.

My Ride: 2003 X5 3.0----->gone
2004 Porsche Cayenne S : Gemballa front and back bodykit, fabspeed bypass pipes, Gemballa exhaust pipes, full option, 20" factory sport design rims------>gone
2005 545i 6-spd manual---->de-badged, CDV removal, Autosolutions short shift kit, resonator removal, premium package, PDC, xenon, almost full options, hardwire V1 install ....looking for mods...
2007 550i 6-spd----> Premium package, sport package, Logic7, heated everything, Rogue Engineering SSK, CDV removal, hardwire V1 install, aFe cold air intake, Custom Magnaflow exhaust....
Yeah there is no way a runflat would ride better than non runflats or even equal them in terms of comfort. But hows the road grip of this one compared to the dunlops which I find horrible...??

I previously found the F1's very good in the wet myself.
