I presently drive a 2007 Z4 Coupe and that runs a 225/255 setup and have a 135i on order. Finally wore out the Bridgestone re050 runflats that were original equipment on my Z4.
I replaced those tires with the Continental DWS and have been happy with my purchase mainly from a cost aspect. They are not as sticky as the factory runflats, my traction control intervenes a bit more often in hard cornering than it used to, but the ride is a little better and there is no noise. I haven't been in any hard rain or snow yet, but the few times the road got wet, they were noticeably better than the factory runflats as far as traction goes.
If I lived somewhere with a lot of rain like the Pacific NW I think I would love these tires a lot more. If I wasn't getting rid of the Z4 for the 135i I would probably look into another set of tires, maybe the DW at a similar price, and sell these. In the dry they just aren't quite as sticky as I expected.
