I am pretty sure our local guys won't stock those runflats. Is the tied down spare a dealer option or aftermarket? I am just wondering where and how you tie the spare.
Since I never had a beemer before, I am assuming runflat tyre means you can still drive when they bust, but just slower. I'm thinking of keeping a couple spare runflats in my garage and have the locals replace them should the unfortunate happens.
