I do, but with my Z. I've bought many parts from them (suspension, BBK, wheels, etc.). I deal mainly with Rob Leech - good guy.

With the '08 335xi w/sports package, what wheel and tire size would you recommend?
Also, do you guys think I should forego the Run-Flat tires and get regular tires for the winter? I know if I get a flat I'll have to call a flat bed toll truck.

I'll be taking my 19's off in a couple of weeks and running 225-45R17 Michelin PA3's on my OEM rims for winter. My wheel setup is staggered but the PA3's will fit despite the rim size differential. I was unable to get the OEM tire size for the 8.5 rears in a PA3, only in a PA1 and they are getting hard to find as I am told they are end of life. I chose to go non RFT because of the tire size availability and the cost to go to RFT's. Like you said, I have roadside assistance if I really ned it. I am purchasing a mobility kit just in case.
