Exactly. Early BMW's suffered a harsh ride with runflats because:

1) Tires were very very hard.
2) The BMW cars that wore them didn't have suspensions designed especially for them.

The E90 is the first run-flat BMW that's handling isn't overly harsh and very acceptable. Runflat tires are now softer, and the E90 suspension was designed from day 1 to accommodate run-flats...
