M4/3 Non Runflats - M4 F83 has run flats from factory

[bmw320ci]

Does anyone know if the M4 F83 Convertible should come with standard tyres rather than RFT? I was under the impression that most, if not all came with non-RFT

I know BMW tend to go with the best deal at the time but mine has Conti sports which as yet I haven't seen another M4 with those OEM either.

2 questions in short RFT on M4 F83, other question Conti Contact Sport on other M4's (F82)

thanks in advance

No full fat M car comes with RFT there are 2 BMW star rated M tyres for the F80/2/3 the CSC5P and MPSS anything else has been fitted afterwards.

when you say 'full fat' what does that mean

ill take a picture of the tyres tomorrow and you will see these are RFT, the car was purchased new with these tyres

This is weird because I too am sure the M cars did not have RFTs, suitable for purchase or fitted as standard.

I picked two M4 convertibles at random from BMW Approved Used and put their registration plates in blackcircles , the online tyre seller and ticked the RFT box and there are , as I expect, NO RFTs for sale!!!!

I think full fat means a M Division car, such as your M4 and not a "M Performance" car such as the M135i and M235i , both of which can be purchased with RFTs as an option.

Look forward to the photos.

Are M rims even designed for runflats? Runflat wheels have a ridge on the inner rim to keep the tyre bead located in the event of deflation, you can fit regular tyres to runflat rims but I don't think runflats should be fitted to non runflat rims as they would likely fail if you tried to run them flat.
