BMW lied to me...
 
Ive had the car since feb 24 and since thursday she's had the rear tire flat...
They towed her this morning to a local garage that works with my dealership and the mechanic tells me I dnt have RunFlat tires and the tire would cost me about 500 swiss francs wich is about 350$.
I then called my dealer to ask him about this nonsense. He remembers perfectly telling me I had RunFlat tires.
They then towed her to the dealership and now im waiting for him to call me.

But this is so weird, Im told I have RunFlats, I have no spare whatsoever in the back so something is very wrong here.
I miss her

Don't run flats indicate that they are runflats? What are the make/model of the tires exactly?

BMW didn't lie, the dealer did.

Are we talking about an X? Or what. And yeah dealer lied maybe. Depends what on your order sheet. Did you go over that before taking delivery? Fill in the blanks. We need more info.

It is true...the xwife was looking at the new 3 and there is nothing in the boot...Oh runn Flat...I remember making a joke about the chain smoking smoking engineers trying to figure out where to put the spare...."actung...Ruuuuuuuuun...flllat" Is good yah?! Hmm...Ruuun phlat..yes! yes!...cigarette?!!!

Run Flats always seemed dumb to me. The idea that instead of a spare tire giving you the capability to possibly save a damaged tire, we will give you a 'run flat' that once it has run flat, can't be repaired...oh and will make it 2 times the cost.

Yes we are talking about an X3, when we took delivery of the car he said there is no spare because you have runflats.
Ive never seen the order sheet as I did not order the car.

Hmmm This is new. I never knew any X came with run flats. Is there a place for a spare?

x3s dont come with run flats and should have a spare tire just like the X5s

elijah.vdp 04-18-2006 03:49 PM

^^nope theres no space, under the trunk there are a bunch of tools and such...

I never even knew it was an option to have runflats, and I doubt my mom would order such a thing but he's the one who told us
