Hey guys, brought my 2011 Z4 2.3 (2.5L) sdrive highline addition in Jan 17. Loving it. However had a free health check when I had the recal on the terminals fixed and they found 3 cracks on one of the wheels. Anyone got a suggestion for repair or replacement? I just paid for all four to be refurbished.

Not too clued up on E89s. But I'm guessing you have 19s, so the general consensus is to get rid of run-flats!
Stunning car BTW - I'm a bit of a sucker for red leather!

It came with brand new Bridgestone Potenza tyres so I thought that was good? I was told the handleing will be affected without run flats? / the right tyres?

It may be - but based on what I have read on here it will probably be worse on run-flats!
Then again if they are new you have some time to consider your options!

Apparently 8mm on the fronts 7mm on the rear. I'm sure I can get that down to the legal limit quickly. Lol.
Any suggestions on tyres apreciated.
Thanks. C

The handling will be affected, in a good way, burn those tires up and get real ones, the car is amazing with a good set of rubber on it.

Welcome to the forum. Great looking Zed.
Run flats and Z4s
Burn them and treat your Zed to some nice new boots.

Lovely car great colour combo.
Now go out and practice your drifting skills and burn off that rubber pronto then you can fit the tyres the car really deserves

Me too.
