Hi AusX1,

I'm actually getting my car Sunday week and while originally BMW was going to help out with the swap over, they have now said they can't help and won't help. However, Jax are still fine with everything and I'm swapping to Pirelli P7s (non Run Flat) and they'll swap 4 run flats for 5 standards. As the standards are $246 and the run flats over $500, they'll be coming out on front.

Only thing is that I'll get the car Sunday and they aren't open Sunday so I have to drive home then back to Bondi on Monday for the swap over. They said this is fine as long as I don't do any more kms than that (less than 30km).

They also confirmed that the run flats tend to wear quicker than normal tyres. BMW Sydney (Rushcutters Bay) recommend Jax to their customers to deal with their tyres so they'd know as well as anyone.

The extra rim (17 inch V spoke wheel) is $665 as an accessory.
