My Ride: 2005 545i step, nav, sport, 166 wheels, premium sound, don't need nothin' else.
I am contemplating the sport package on my new E60. Can anyone tell me if the tires can be changed to standard tires from run flats on the same rims?
Also, what do you think of doing a ED in January? (Not my first choice but the timing works for my wife's schedule).
Thanks in advance for all your support.

The ride is definitely a factor as I often have clients in the car. I think that the sport package with less harsh riding tires will be the perfect marriage for me. Thanks for your input.
Hey, Iceman how about a heads up on th January ED?

Something to think about - my dealer told me that going to non-runflat tires would increase your chances of wheel damage, as the runflats have thicker sidewalls. made sense to me.
