Tyres

So after just four weeks I have a bulge in my tyre. The dunlops that came on it seem to be in short supply. BMW dealership could only get one direct from BMW at a price of £420!

Managed to get one in the end after a weekend of searching from Tyres4Less who with 130 depots only had one in stock in the whole country for £280.

So, if your looking for a 20" Dunlop run flat good luck!

That's a shame I've got a set of 6mm Dunlop, just replaced them with Michelin supersports

Seems to be a trend, mine was in at BMW for it's first MOT and failed due to a bulge on the rear passenger side. I replaced both with MPSS's as they haven't disappointed me yet.

They said mine was a pothole impact more than likely.

Does ditching the runflats have any negative affects on the drivetrain as on my previous x5 they where known to have transfer box and diff problems if ran on non * rated tyres

Not as far as I know, and not sure why that would be, years ago I had a 4wd cavalier that had issues with winding up the drive train if the front and rear tyres wore at different rates and were different circumferences as a result.
On non run flats the car drives as I expect the development engineers intended it to!
