I had a tire pressure warning come up on screen during the drive yesterday but the on board computer said I can resume the drive as the car is equipped with run-flat tires.
Well, it turns out that these Pirelli tires are not run flats and the pressure dropped quickly and below critical. The car has no spare tire, no tire-puncture fix solutions in place, no high-jack or even a pump included.
The car is the “Ultimate pack”… Does this sound normal?
Bought the car new from BMW.
It’s kind of on you to know the car you’re driving to prevent the more expensive issues that driving on a flat can cause. Most BMWs have come with runflats and without spares and jacks for decades now. You either ordered the car with regular tires or they were switched at some point. The computer won’t know, it’s just (stupidly) programmed to show the same low pressure warning it does for all vehicles.
