I believe that the run-flats will work fine on standard wheels as long as they're inflated, that's not the issue. The concern seems to be what happens if the tire deflates quickly. The run-flat wheels seem to have a design that is intended to keep the sidewall from moving to the center of the rim and "uncoupling" from the wheel.
I'm still waiting to hear from a tire manufacturer. I agree that BMW's position may be be a marketing issue, but then again, what's the point of paying for run-flats if they're not going to be safe if they do deflate?
