No issues whatsoever. I did that on my E90 335i and the difference was night and day without a single negative issue.

I really doubt that whole calibrated to the vehicle based on runflats part. I have also heard that BMW designs the wheels for runflats. Those are all things you'd hear from a dealer but are not true.

How exactly would a vehicle be calibrated to a specific kind of tire? Also, given that on the 228i/235i you have a choice of runflats or non-runflats on the exact same wheels, what is being calibrated?

The only thing that can be calibrated is your speedometer based on the size of tire you run. So, if you stick with the same size tires, your car will run the exact same.

A tire is a tire. Runflats run while they are flat. Non-runflats leave you stranded but run much smoother and quieter. It's as simple as that. The car has tire pressure sensors that work the same way without regard for the type of tire.
