As long as you return it back to them stock, it's no problem at all.

IIRC, you can surrender your lease at any authorized dealership
put stock wheels back on at the end of the lease and you'll be fine

But you can go to any trustworthy and reputable body shop and tell them you want the car prepped for a lease return and they should know what to do

In any case ask the dealership they will tell you clearly and to the point what you can do and what not. Whatever they tell you make sure you make it part of the contract a lot can happen to the dealership during your lease turn. People will change jobs, leave ... dealership can be sold etc.

BMW runflats are expensive... much more expensive than buying non-runflats. So if you get rims and non-runflat tires and keep your stock rims/tires on the side, when it's time to turn the lease in, you just put back your stock rims and tires with 100% tread and you're good to go.
OTOH, if you use up more than something like 50% of the tread on your expensive, stock runflats, BMW would likely charge you for a set of new tires. |

Depends on your dealership. My best friend leased his AW 335iS and our dealership let him powder coat his stock wheels a reasonable color (black, white, silver he did his black and the dealership loves them. Just talk to your dealership and see what they say. Never hurts to ask

BMW recognizes that it is a sports car I guess ... anyway it's a fact it might change ... I think RFT were first developed for the Formula 1 cars.
Edit ... Anyway I do not recommend RFT they are way to stiff one may as well get a Flintstone Mobile ... I know I drove a Z4 35i with RFT ... never again

If the M3 would not come with standard tires the C6.3 AMG would be next on my list, I like that car. I did once have an AMG loved it.
For now I have my M3 e92 and am quite happy thanks very much
