The back mine 130i danced around like ballerina of speed!
The 130i is great, but with the OEM Run-Flats it's very very twitchy and always scrabbling for traction. Last year I took it to the 'Ring, but had a nice set of ACS Type 3's with normal ruber, made a huge difference. It's my wife's car and she doesn't want to change it for anything... so have the run-flats back on for convienience.
