Mein Auto: 335d
My 1st BMW....

Just bought my 1st BMW yesterday. Its a 2011 335d in Tasman green with a saddle interior - a color combination I had been looking for for about 6 months now. I like everything about the car accept the tire noise! On rough highway pavement they howl! It has the original Continental 17" run flats on it now. I have already seen a lot of unhappy owners of run flat tires and for more reasons than just the noise. I have not had to time yet to review the prior posts on this forum on the subject of run flat tires but I am sure they have probably been beaten to death by now. Plan to replace them ASAP and get a spare. Advise welcome?
I have owned lots of upper end cars in the past but this one is pretty special already. Its loaded and I really like the voice command function. Craig
