There's lots to like about the convenience of RFT, and my intention was not originally to argue against their use. More so I'm against the concept of being forced one way against my better judgment. After all anybody can get RFT installed on any car, but not necessarily vice versa if you don't have storage for a spare that could have easily been incorporated in the first place. BMW reminds me of Apple a lot, where they make an awesome product and then try to convince you that you can live without Flash or a firewire port lol.. sure I will love RFT, no dipstick, an electric parking brake, and turn signals and windshield wiper that don't click into place.
