Check the inner rims on the rear wheels carefully for signs of cracking, they're prone to it in the 19" size when running with runflats :thumbsup:
Ps, don't forget to post some pics of your new car!

Nice move there :) Havana is a great colour & the E89 easily takes 19s without compromising the ride so i would head that direction & also head towards non runflat rubber .

Nice. I do,like Merlot, yet I think that Havana Brown is the new Sepang Bronze.

Let's hope the next 3 days pass quickly. :)
