I test drove an x6 last week (6 cyclinder) and liked it (current 06 x5 , 06 330, past 2002 x5) and was ready to order the v8 version but dealer said couldn't do as factory hadn't decided on packages yet ( noticed you can only build 6 version online). So I took a brochure to get an idea of what I might want when the packages do get published.

I noticed that no matter which model you get the rear has run flat tires but not the front. So this means you still have to have a spare. I was wondering if I have to carry a spare why have run flats at all? Anyone have any insight to BMW's thinking on this ?
