haven't experienced first hand, but run-flats will run more stiffly than a comparable non-run-flat.

...i thought diamaris were one of the best...

Mine came with bridgestones which I believe are superior to the Dunlops. You will be able to get all the details on tirerack.

Both the Bridgestone and Dunlop are OEM BMW. The Bridgestone doesn't have that particular Run-Flat tire on their website (they show a non Runflat version of it). Most probably I will be getting the 20" 214's from a local wheel/tire shop (recommended by BMW dealer) with the Bridgestones. I went and saw them in person and they had a much better price on the Bridgestones than the Dunlops.

Here's a picture from BMW's ETK that has the model names of both the Bridgestone and the Dunlop:
