Run-flat results in a stiffer ride because the sidewalls of the tire are thicker so the tire can maintain shape if deflated. Yes, you can put on non low profile tires after but need new rims. Officially M cars can go to 19" but many here put on 18" rims. In winter run-flat and non-run-flat doesn't really affect the performance. Things like tire make/model/type and size are more important.

The run-flat side wall stiffness is why some claim the ride is harsher than non run flat. |

Not sure that’s possible but , I know if you have the shifter to the left in sport and with your foot on the brake turn the car off . The shifter automatically goes Back to the center and car goes into park .

Is there a child-proof switch I can turn off for rear passenger doors for a G02? Had a guest that could not open the door. And so I tested it. Sure enough, I could not open the doors from the inside. Tried to located switches but nothing seems comes close to a door switch.
Edit: Never mind. Found the switch in the door..

Correct, had a new X1 for a loaner this week. The toggle lever is fine, but there is no park button, you just press the start/stop button to park. There were a few things I liked about it (the next/previous button was on the center counsel, the doors seemed pretty hefty, and the seat moves back to help exit the car (wish the X3 had that). The lack of physical buttons was tough, I'm hopeful the rumor of the iDrive wheel remaining on the X3 is true.

Is there a specific procedure for replacing the tyre tpms sensor/valve? Does it have to be specifically orientated against the alloy? Also, how long does the battery last for within the sensor?

I think there in only one position. A socket is needed. I'm not sure about lifespan, but expect 5-6 years. Well, if it's 7, then I'll change it with new set of tyres anyway... battery is irreplaceable. |

I’m so conflicted, I want an X3 or X4 before allocation stops for 2024. But I want red leather with electronic side bolstering. I’ve had it for over 10 yrs and if I get the red sensatec I won’t get it. I’d prefer the X3. So if I want red leather I have to order an X4. I’m so tired of black interior and oyster scares me for dirt and Jean fading. Cognac leather you lose the electronic side bolster and mocha is too drab color. Why couldn’t BMW allow red leather on the X3?

I would have purchased it if I could have. I liked the red leather in my F31.

I have. Tires were great. They just had an older date code than what I'd expect paying full price (mine were 4-5 yrs old IIRC). But they were presumably stored in a climate controlled warehouse so there should be minimal performance degradation.

Thanks, these are 3 years old and are at regular price $311.00 and selling for $157.00 . Kind of hard to resist at that price.
