I hear you ChrisNYC, I'm out in the burbs as well, w/ a 550i sport... Getting my rims fixed is routine maintenance for me.... Most recently, I blew a tire and flattened a rim, going through a construction zone, while headed out to Wayne, NJ... I stuck w/ the "19s on my F15 M-Sport order, in hopes of giving myself a fighting chance at avoiding regular rim maintenance...

Which begs the question... How are the newer run flats, in general? Back in '07, my wife had an '08 330i w/ run flats. In addition to the horrible ride, they couldn't hold air. My test drive of the M sport F15 was pretty comfortable and w/ little road noise. Can anyone comment on durability of run flats in the last 4 yrs?
