We own a BMW X3 28d. Had to
We own a BMW X3 28d. Had to leave the highway after a tire pressure warning came up. Headed to nearest gas station with a compressor and attempted to inflate the flat tire without any luck. The air was leaving as fast as it was entering. We drove about 12 miles home and called a tow truck in the morning as this happened on a Sunday evening. Tow truck delivered me and the car to our nearest dealer and was advised by service that I hadn't maintained the air pressure...Thanks but not true.the tire was destroyed and to be replaced along with the other rear tire after only 26000miles of mostly Hwy miles. A few weeks ago the same thing happened to a fronte, same story tire destroyed heading to a tire shop about 20 miles away, This time I bit the bullet and had all four tires removed and replaced with radials for about the same cost as just replacing 2 front tires with run flats.no spare now but a lot more confident in my ride.added bonus, the fuel consumption improved by about 10%. Will never, never buy another BMW as long as they include run flat tires. They should follow the Audi method....deflated compact spare to save space and an onboard compressor.
