I bought a CPO 335x about a month ago and I asked them if the tires on there were run flats and they said "if the car comes with run flats, then in order to certify it they must be run flats on it now". Then I pointed out that they were not run flats and they said it must not have been standard on that model.

So anyway, I am driving home tonight and get a flat tire. I do not have a spare and the tires are not run flats. If my model (2010 335 xi coupe non sport model) came with run flats from the factory, then the dealership will be responsible to take car of this. If not, what are my options other than having it towed?

I'm fairly certain they all came with runflats, thats the reason for a lack of spare/jack

If this is the case then the dealership is liable for what this as my car was sold as a CPO car.

These are the tires that were sold to me on my CPO car. They stated in order for the car to be certified, it has to have the same or equivalent tires that came with the car. The tires I have are not run flats, and now I am stuck with a flat.

Almost positive all 335 come with run flats they lied to you that is why there is no spare tire, find proof take back to the dealer & demand they replace your tire or tell them you want oem runflats if they do not comply contact BMW NA file complaint.

All BMWs (attract 2006 and up) come standard with run flats.... It is for the simple fact that the car was designed to save weight and space by not having a spare....

But now... You need to provide proof that you received non-run flats.... By the BMW dealership...

So I was being really ignorant and apparently they are run flats, my mistake.

I didn't see the "RFT" symbol on the tire so I assumed they weren't run flats, but they are the continental ssr's, which are run flats.

Just bought the car a month ago, tires are practically brand new, now I have to drop like 250 on a new tire. Lucky me.

All 335's came with run flats.
Cars that don't come with a spare in the US must come with either and inflation kit or run flats.
Go back to the dealer and tell them you will report them to BMW North America.
