I don't even mind going to a slightly higher profile (not a harder lower profile) to get a bit more sidewall flex.
If I can fit normal tyres to these run-flat wheels then I have a huge choice of tyres I'd prefer on the car and at half the prices of run-flats.

* I've been trolling through the internet the last hour or so and it seems that the BMW rims allow any tyre to be fitted. ie: doesn't have to be a run flat tyre.
Apparently its only a run-flat system called PAX (Honda and Nissan are examples) where standard tyres cannot be fitted to their run-flat wheel.
So I think I'll try a deal with the seller on a set of standard tyres be fitted and see where we go from there.
Still need to look at an alternative to a spare tyre though.
