I'm thinking the same way....

Even the current cars, E60/1 and E9* when fitted with non run-flats are not always sorted, just with tyres. There is so much discussion on what wheels and tyre brands really sort the cars, what the car's build date is, whether standard or M-sport suspension, is the car pre or post facelift, etc.

I know users who have tried the tyre solution and gone back to RFTs after a while, as the car is still not right, just different.

Surely we don't want to be going down that route with a brand new model, one which is supposed to be getting BMW back on track?

The standard offerings with normal tyres may be a complete mess with EPS, and be all over the place. May still need all the electronic gizmos to get a decent drive.
