Maybe you weren't offered it. My sealer won't even have them on his car, although some seem to like them. Personally I am not a fan of them for a number of reasons.

been quoted 1425 for the 304s with non-runflats... this is before costs of storage @ 160 per yr or 60 per yr for swapping the tyres around.

am slightly tempted as i'll be driving up north in late Nov/Dec...

oh..tyres are already on back-order according to the dealer.. up to you whether you take it with a pinch of salt or not..

Pinch of salt from a big yellow bin?!

I'm not going to get them this winter but may consider it next winter if we get more significant snow. If I do, I'll definitely take the X3 skiing to get my money's worth!

The tyre need run in a little and I wanted them on before the rush, which I suspect is real if only because they limit supply. It is due to be down to 7'C first thing on Oct 6th, so sadly not long to wait. 24C here at the moment and sipping a cool beer!

The X3 suspension is designed for Run-Flat tyres, so watch your insurance if you have an accident the insurance Co could default on payment.
I have seen this happen with other BMW's that have been fitted with "None recommended" .

I am suprised at that, are you sure?, have you a spare wheel or just that gunk shit.
Just checked and you are right the basic 2.0 SE model does in fact come with NONE R/Flats apologies, so all will be OK.

Insurers can make an issue about unapproved add ons but tyres sold by, fitted by and meeting conformity regulations are clearly "standard". None of my summer nor winter tyres are run flats but all are standard as above. On a related point, it is important to disclose ALL options you have on your car to your insurer, as this impacts the value and their risk. Anything optional should be reported - indeed Admiral recently insisted on this and I carefully read through my 2 pages of options and got them to read it back to me. Took 10 mins but they can't say they didn't know. Did not alter my premium. Be careful out there! Insurers like loopholes!
