The runflats handled well in the hundred miles I put on the 330i loaner: including hammering some freeway ramps and some "spirited" mtn 2 lanes.

That loaner was the first loaner I have ever received in a score of trips to the BeamER Stlr, so I was pleasantly surprised. I had to wait or leave it, on all previous trips.

I have runcraps on the Vette, so I am "used" to RFs...they handle well in both dry and wet, though I have driven non-RFs on a Vette, only briefly.
Not apples to apples, vs. the 330i, I realize.

I do feel the RFs on the Vette have gotten "harder" and noiser over the 21k miles of use. When I replace it will be a decison to make of RFs vs. regular tars.
