BMW run flat tyres - what a joke!

[grand cherokee]

my friends wife's new 3 series got a flat about 6 days ago and they still cannot get a replacement!!

so car is stuck on the drive and they have given her a hire car

bring back the days of the spare tyre imo!

as i said what would have happened if they had been abroad which they are frequently

apparently there are no tyres anywhere in the UK until the manufacturer makes some more!!

Why doesn't she keep driving on it until she gets a replacement ?

Can you not stick normal tyres on them and carry a foot pump & can of tyre weld instead?

can't put 'normal' tyres on those rims - or so i'm told? - cars under warranty so would probably FUBAR that idea

if it was me - i'd go to the BMW dealer and demand a wheel off a showroom car!!!

Yep, sure they've got a yard FULL of unsold 3 series they could borrow one off.

no - she only needs one tyre not a yard full though a spare might help!!
