Am 320i lci rwd, si nu am nevoie de xdrive. Daca ai anvelope de calitate poti sa mergi si la munte.
Rwd are costuri reduse de intretinere fata de xdrive, mai usor, mai eficient.
Pros: anvelope de calitate

Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.
Pros: handles easily, feels rear driven
Cons: consumables, worse mileage

And one tire due to a bulge. The tire was not cheap ($500) but I let the dealership deal with it rather than getting it done cheaper elsewhere as I didn't want to drive on a massive bulge.
Pros: dealer dealt with it
Cons: tire was not cheap
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 48000 km
OEM tires wear a little faster than I'd like. I'm looking at having to get some new ones soon.
Cons: wear faster
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 32186 km
As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.
Pros: wider tire selection
Cons: sidewall damage, heavier

I got the wheel and tire warranty when I bought my car. They’ve already replaced 4 run flats for free. I got 2 blowouts in the last 2 weeks hitting pretty average sized potholes that I’ve never had issues before with. Run flats suck.
Pros: warranty replaced run flats
Cons: blowouts, run flats suck

It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile
Cons: dead immobile
