Finally after a few service visits, the last one being 5 days, they heard a squealing noise I've complained about during cold cranking. Dealer thinks it's a bad starter and is replacing it tomorrow. Anyone had this problem?

Also, after replacing my Turanza runflats with Michelin Primacy MXV4, I find the car does not handle as well but provides a more comfortable ride. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds?

Turanza runflats are the bigges piles of crap ever made to put on a BMW.

Should have gone with the Continental runflats if you wanted to keep the runflat option.

Why did you choose the Michelin's???? The Contis are great
