Maybe you all saw the below. I saw it on the bmwusa website/

Style with the Star Spoke 122 cast alloy wheel
Wheel, 8" x 17" (required tire size: 245/45 R17W)

- Complete set of four wheels and Bridgestone run-flat tires,

So it means that my car will come with bridgestone not the dunlop with the noise problem? My car will come with the Style 122.

Hey Guys
Be careful when you are purchasing runflat tires for your BMW, I have heard that some others have problems with the BMW tires making weird noises, often after 10,000 km.
One link that came up for me was when I was researching it was www.bmwtirenoise.com
Check it out before you buy anything.

That site sounds like it's all about the known Dunlop runflat noise issue -- has nothing to do with wheels, etc.
