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 ?
Your dealer is lying to you about the V8 because I have already ordered mine and even have production number that has been accepted in Spartansburg and I should receive the third week of July. They already know all packages and prices and it is already in their system. Only thing I can think of is that your dealer may not have been given any production numbers for the 50i yet.
