Welcome...hope you enjoy the forum.

I would stick with runflats, purely for safety reasons. However, they generally more expensive than non runflats and have a harder ride but otherwise they great.

Post pic of the front of the car so we can see what headlights you got....i assume you refering to the headlights??

Hi guys

We just did a road trip with our 2011 E90 BMW 320i,before I left the on board consumption showed 10.5l/100km... while I was on the road I did reset the consumption reader/indicator. We drove 920kms and the consumption was mostly between 6.5-8l/100km,which was great for long distance. A few times on inclines/hills it went more than 8litre but then dropped back to 7.5l. I didn't even shift to manuel becuz automatic was best for long distance,atleast according to me.
