What is BS? When you do have a flat tyre, what are you expected to do? Should the failure be catastrophic- what do you do? Wait for BMW assist?

***, what's the point of a run flat tire? you can drive for over 100km with a flat tire, If you can't reach home or at least a garage within +100km, you're in the sahara and even BMW X-drive isn't that good.

That kit is a farce. Its only of some kind of help if you may have a slow puncture. In the case of a blowout, it cant do anything.

Bit off topic from the new 7er isn't it?? We should make a discussion thread about run flats..flat runs (which ever one it is

).

The new 7-er will look odd with huge back lights a tiny head lights with the big kidneys

I know...I'm just staying that there will be no big "WOW" factor this time around like the current generation had. Yes, it will be nice and flashy but no major thrill.
