My Ride: 535d (4/05) M Sport, Carbon black, Black dakota leather, Sport seats, Xenon, Navi prof, Hi-fi pack, AS, BT, PDC, Sunroof
I am looking at a catalogue of the new five and the run-flats appear to be optional on all engines apart from the 550 where they are standard equipment. If this is true I will be the happiest bunny of all, I simply hate the run-flats. Can anyone confirm this?

My Ride: New ride from 14th May�07: 525iA LCI, Sport Suspension, Deep Sea Blue, Leather Dakota Natural Brown, Hi-Gloss Black trim, Star Spoke 124 18", Comfort Seats with memory,
M -steering wheel, Glass Roof, Navi Professional, ProLogic7, USB-connection, Bi-Xenon, Extended Air Condition, Auto dimming mirrors, Electric Folding mirrors, Bluetooth for Cell Phone Sony Ericsson K750i, Electric rear window shade, Ligth package, Speed control with brake function, Cup Holders, Automatic head light control, PDC, Shadow line
In Germany and also in Nordic, including Finland, the 17" standard wheels come with non RFT tires. All the other dimensions are available only as RFT. After two weeks of F10 535iA with 18" 245/45 RFT I can say that the new ones are far more comfortable compared to the 6/2008 18" 245/40 RFTs that I had in my E60. Both cars are with M-Sport suspension.
Best regards,
TGII
