the e90/e92 and aftermarket wheels...

For people with aftermarket wheels: what are you going to do if you have a flat? I'm worried that, because my car has no spare or jack because of its runflats, when I get aftermarket wheels I'll be forced to wait for roadside assistance if I have a flat...

BMW'S roadside assit actually will NOT come for flats since you're supposed to have RFTs.

If you do a

, you will find a lot of people have tire inflation devices (you can get it from CanadianTire) and a few have purchased another full size mag/wheel as a spare on long trips and live dangerously when driving closer to home

Maybe they won't come in Canada, but they'll come in the US. I pushed the SOS button & asked before I got the CH's and they said yes.

I keep a ContiComfort Kit in the trunk + I have an Amex card & AAA service -- both of which offer Roadside Assistance.

Not true on the road side assistance. I personal call BMWNA to ask that question. They will send out a tow truck just as if you had run flats. Like the gentleman at BMWNA said "if that was true BMW would have a lot of pissed off people".

I am used to it. It's SOP in the Corvette Z06. They give you a bottle of goop and a small air compressor.
