Well here is one thing to think about. Have you ever had a runflat get a hole in it. If you have, have you every found a shop which will repair it. I have RF's on my 545 and X5 and also on my dad's 650. I have had a nail in my 5er and my dads 6er had one too and i called about 10 places and nobody would fix the tire. My 545 tires are 300 a piece and the 650's are about 400 a piece. So the 429 i paid for the tire/rim protection is well worth it in the long run..... It is like all insurance... you may never need it untill you do and when you do you are happy... if you don't you wasted the $$$ but have a warm fuzzy feeling i guess

Actually it covers the rim if the damage prevents the wheel from holding air.

Can you tell me if that's the plan through GE?

I've just checked with my Connecticut dealer and they said they do not have a good plan to offer me but there is a good one through GE that still has to be approved in Connecticut! My dealer says they're trying to push this approval... Unfortunately, it does have it to be purchased when the car is new and I'll get my new X5 this month.

And a question for anybody that might know about this insurance... Do you think that I could just go and buy it from a NY dealer? I'm only about 25 miles away from one.

It was not GE and I dont recall the name but I think the company was based out of florida.

In the end, I decided not to get it. You could call a few NY dealers and ask for the F&I guy. Shoot me a PM if you want the name of the guy on Long Island where I purchased my truck
