4 days ago I got a message in iDrive "Tyre Puncture". I thought it was an iDrive error (software upgrade please). I stoped the car and looked at the tyre and it was ok. I initialized the system and drove on. After 3 days the message "Tyre Puncture" came again. I was so sure it was dataproblem so I didn?t give a damn. But today I saw that the tyre was low and I checked the pressure and it was 0. So you don?t really see that well if you have a puncture. Well, I went to the tyreshop/service and they told me they don?t touch ROF tyres. I called BMW Sweden and asked them what to do and they told me I must come to them. They told me also that they can?t fix the the ROF, I have to buy a new one. Now I?m waiting for a call from BMW Sweden because they didn?t have my tyre, they have to call Bridgestone and listen. I wonder if it?s really a good idea to have ROF, they also weight much more. I can understand if you live in a country like USA and you can get robbed if you stop on a higway, but for me i Sweden I don?t know. Well, well............
