I had a tire pressure warning come up on screen during the drive yesterday but the on board computer said I can resume the drive as the car is equipped with run-flat tires.

Well, it turns out that these Pirelli tires are not run flats and the pressure dropped quickly and below critical. The car has no spare tire, no tire-puncture fix solutions in place, no high-jack or even a pump included.

The car is the “Ultimate pack”… Does this sound normal?

Bought the car new from BMW.

    Run flat tires have nothing to do with low pressure.

    The pressure will go down completely. But that doesn’t matter because to car drives on the tires reinforced side wall, not relying on the remaining pressure.

    Now that only works if they actually were run flat tires.
