But I digress.

The dealer told him that if you don't replace the tires with run flats, the TPMS would constantly default and that BMW couldn't reset it to a non-run flat.

Not true?
Replacement is a BMW policy not a manufactures policy. You will get the same song from almost all the BMW dealers. The dunlop ROF can be repaired with the proper plug equipment and procedure. Dunlop certifies the shop. I am not sure about the Michelin's, I believe the manufacturer does not recommend repair.
