When I bought my current E90 M3, I just assumed it was the same deal, but one quick read at the supplement Owners Manual (not the thick one, but the thin manual with the photo on an M3 engine), and I found the following statement buried under Wheels and Tires:
"Correct wheels and tires: Contrary to the description in the Owner's Manual for (sic)Vehicle, your BMW M3 is not equipped with run-flat tires".
Page 57 if I recall. Cheers!:  |
The E46 M3 did not come with runflat tires either; like all other M3/Mcoupe/Mroadster/M5/M6 etc it came with the M-mobility kit and normal summer performance tires.
