I haven't read any century sprints for it, but seat of the pants tells me something between 7.0 seconds and 7.5 seconds. BMW quotes 8.0 seconds, I believe, but they always quote a little conservatively. |

hi epiphone3, are you planning to keep your runflat tyres?
i did the unthinkable, i replaced my stock 16inch rims and runflats and changed it to 18 inch rims with normal tyres. Also made my own 'M Mobility kit'- bought 'fix a flat' x2 and a tyre air compressor. I have my doubts about runflats, they cause twice as much as conventional tyres, if one is badly damaged, you will need to change to 2 runflats and that works out to be 4 conventional tyres. Could runflats be a fad/bmw gimmick? |

I did some looking at the prices of runflat tires and it seems to me that they cost approximately $50 extra per corner over the same convential tires (I did a comparison of 16-inch Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22s). I don't know if this is different elsewhere or if the price has gone up since then... the one thing I do know is that you should avoid getting tires changed by the dealer as it is always more expensive there and I believe that they charge labour ($90 per hour) |
