One important difference though:
Any M series vehicle that does not come with a spare is covered in full for towing to the nearest BMW center. This is a LIFETIME benefit that comes with all M models. Wheel and tire specifications are subject to change.

Further, note that by the letter of what they say, you can only be towed to the nearest BMW dealer, where tires are priced obscenely. However I had good luck talking them into taking me to Discount/America's Tire a few times with my previous M Coupe.

Of course BMW Roadside is just AAA by a fancier name, so it's not hard to replace. I agree though, regular tires, a plug kit, pliers, an inflator and gloves are a great solution for people looking to ditch runflats.
