I have to agree on this and the rest of what hlothery said. I have been saved a couple of time by run flats and never felt the need to put on a spare in the nine years that I owned my 2010 535xi. When I sold it last fall the new buyer asked if it had a spare and I said no, it has runflats. Then later before he picked it up I thought about it and went down to the garage and checked. Sure enough, it had a space saver spare under the floor cover. Down to about 25 psi, so I put it up to its required 60 psi. But there it was; I had forgotten about it. --Bob
