Tyres for BMW 320 coupe

Does anyone know what run flats go on a 320 coupe?

bridgestone potenzas are usually factory fitted, but not always. Continental Contacts also come fitted. You can put on any tyres of the correct size. BMW 'appproved' tyres have a star on the sidewall also.

Would you consider buying regular tyres instead of run-flats & getting a spare wheel kit for it?

The normal tyres would be:

- Much cheaper
- Much quieter
- Better ride quality
- Puncture repairable

AFAIK, the BMW system doesn't have pressure sensors, it uses the ESP to detect rotational imbalance caused by deflation instead.
