Good to hear.

My first BMW in 2002 had several flat tires due to nails on the road and I got killed on the replacement/repair costs and those were non-runflats. My second one in 2005 had non-runflats (IIRC) but I bought the tire insurance -- back when it was a cheap $350 for three years. It worked like carrying an umbrella when there's a chance of rain -- kept the storm clouds away so I never had to use it.

For my new 1er, I went whole hog with 5 year coverage even though it was a bit expensive (still substantially less than my Euro Delivery discount) because I knew how expensive runflats are and how bad DC and Maryland streets are. Hope I never have to use it, but I'm glad I have that piece of mind.
