Best runflats for e90 LCI 18" m-sport rims??

[Gqoks000]

Am not sure on the RFTs but michellin gives you more kilometers on non-RFTs...Of which I think even on RFTs it should

I use Michelin Pilot Sport 3 non-runflat on my car.They ride softer,grip better and i have better fuel consumption.There is a weight saving of 2kg. per wheel so car is 8kg lighter. :thumbs:

Do u have a spare wheel? And what exactly is a spacesaver i see most guys talkin about? The e90 lci does not have enuf space for a spare wheel am i ryt? Honestly it wud work out soo much cheaper if i could just put non-runflats.....and im sure mileage would be way better too.

Btw if i did put non-runflats would that affect my motorplan?

The Space saver is essentially a spare wheel, but it is as thin as a "Marie biscuit", it is something to be able to get you away from the side of the road stranded to the nearest tyre fitment centre (limited km's/limited speed), and then you just let it lie in the trunk taking up space.

I have only seen images of the BMW space saver "kit" which seems to include all the things you will need, jack/wheel spanner/space-saver rim and tyre.

as for the motorplan issue....there has been plenty of discussion on this topic, and as far as I could summarize, the Motorplan related to wheels and brakes portion, possibly suspension, could be made "void", but the remainder of the Motorplan will remain.

I.E. if it can be proved that running a normal set of wheels and non RFT tyres caused the damage that you are claiming from Motorplan, then that section is "void"

But running normal tyres cannot cause damage to the engine, so the engine portion of the Motorplan will stand GOOD...etc etc

I dont see why they would void your MP if they themselves are selling the space saver kit.

Best thing to do is get it in writing that it will not void MP and get insurance to say you're still covered with non-rfts in writing. That way you're covered and dont have to use RFTs.

Well, I went through the whole issue with BMW motorplan regarding non BMW approved tyres - they simply would not listen to reason, and then had nothing to say when I asked them is the local fuels are all BMW approved, "no, but they are SABS approved...", "exactly!!". :nonono:

What exactly are 'BMW approved tyres'? Whomever gives them the best deal at the time?

Look on the side-wall of a Bridgestone or Continental RFT (same with Michelin, Pirelli and Dunlop for instance) on a BMW and you will see a star symbol - that is the designation to indicate that the tyre is BMW approved as OE...

And yes, it's a case of "you scratch my back, I scratch your back..."
