Do note that the 235i TPMS software is smart enough to know it's deflated to 'run-flat' mode and displays the active temperature of the tire on display in the iDrive, color coated to greed, orange, or red based on the severity of running temperature.

The trade off over ride-comfort is worth it to some folks.
count me amongst those folks!

i DD the DC beltway and major highways on the maryland side. DC295 is particularly awful. i would NEVER stop to change a flat on any of these roads for fear of my life. i see cars pulled over with flats every day, and say a little prayer for the poor souls out there with their backs to crazy traffic while trying to change a flat.
