In Reply to: my next car testing at the 'ring... posted by Jim Pearce on April 26, 2021 at 07:22:04:
Initially my wife wanted it, and we nearly got ready, but then I reminded her that it only comes with the dreaded runflats, and that killed the dream.
As many BMW drivers, I always throw away the junky runflats, and replace them with real tires. But my wife recently got caught on a highway with puncture, and... of course... in the Ultimate Manufacturer's Stupidity - with no spare in her 335i.
So the bottom line - she loves the trunk access, but it seems for now she is going to stay with her Audi S5 Sportback, that has all the trunk access she needs, AND.. good tires... and a spare.
