Does anyone know whether or not we can order new cars without the option of RFT??? Would there be any additional costs involved?

Maybe you have a small leak like I do,
mine leaks about 10 psi in two months :thumbsdown:
After adding air you should reset the iDrive tyre control.

As you have found which tyre has lost air, it is probably a good idea to get it checked by good tyre dealers. A slow puncture may be due to a nail etc. in the tread & a good dealer can repair it ( many posts about the pros & cons of fixing RFTs on here ). But if the tyre is damaged & you continue to drive on it then it is likely to damage tyre beyond repair, which will cost you big time!! & possibly damage your car. I drove 10 miles on flat RFT at slow speed & the car developed new rattles which I entirely blame on the shock transmitted through the car, it felt & sounded awful on flat RFT. Cant wait to get rid of RFTs as they dont make sense to me. Too many drawbacks.

- so either someone let it out, you have a slow puncture or a dodgy valve. Check it again later and if it's lost air again - get yourself down to the tyre fitters pronto

Well the air got out somehow - so either someone let it out, you have a slow puncture or a dodgy valve.

So if you really don't like someone, simply let some air out of his RFT every now and then and that will drive him crazy!!!
