I just checked the window sticker.?
The car does have the run-flats, but no jack or spare listed.? Can someone else in the U.S. with MY05 that has the run-flats check and see if they have a spare also?

I took delivery of my car about two weeks ago and had been anticipating driving on the run-flats with slight resignation.? I noted on delivery that I received the Dunlap DSSTs that everyone notes get louder as they age. Everything was as I expected it to be when ordering the 545 with sports package.? Today while further exploring the car I was startled when I lifted up the trunk mat and found a spare, a jack setup in there.
From what everyone has posted before I thought the spare and jack were left out when you received the run-flats.? Was I mistaken or might this be a new MY05 thing?

I am not sure where I got that impression. I knew I had heard of it from someone on the board, and it may have been furthered in my mind by the lack of a spare on my M3.
Now there is really nothing to keep me from switching to Michelins down the line.

I have the RFT and the spare here in Portugal, and you know it's just great because my next tyres aren't going to be RFT !
