Great looking- you made a good choice!!
Not sure where you stand on changing runflats, I recently had to renew all 4 tyres and initially contacted several tyre places and my local dealers who all said it was necessary/best to stick to runflats. BMW said the suspension is set up for runflats and you would notice a slight difference with non runflats. There are also issues with invalidating insurance and having no spare wheel. I pointed out that some minis have 'normal' tyres and a can of tyre weld so whats the difference?!
There was one tyre garage who said they would put non runflats on but I would have to sign a disclaimer so no comeback on him.
In the end I decided to get 4 Goodyear Excellence Runflats (bought off ebay for £310 fitted, best price I could find) and are happy with them!

Very nice! We have something similar about black and chrome

Wow, that is virtually my car except for the addition of Sat Nav and Lounge leather (I have Punch leather), and different wheels.

Other than that it's identical!

It looks absolutely gorgeous (but I would say that wouldn't I..??

)
