I had Runflats on previous Z4 and was quite happy with them. My G29 doesn't have Runflats, doesn't have a spare and everybody says don't use the tyre repair system as it fouls up the tyre and the electronics.

I thinking about switching to Runflats. Does anybody know if they are made for a G29 and would they cause any issues with the TPMS?

Thanks.

Yeah people have done it. Tyres exist in the right sizes. TPMS works fine as long as you get the right sensors fitted or swap yours over.

Main thing is the ride gets firmer and the G29 already rides stiffer than the old E85. You’ll feel every cat’s eye. Also no spare wheel well so you’re just carrying a can of goo anyway.

If you liked them before you’ll probably be fine. Just check the tyre pressures more often runflats hate being low.

The point of Runflats is that you don't need a spare wheel or goo.

If you're a meaningful distance from home its going to need to be recovered regardless of whether you have run-flats or not, surely.

TPMS would be fine. Just check your rims are designed for runfrlats. JJ rim profiles are required for runfrlats and are also capable of taking non runfrlats.
