Car had a brand new Gas tank not that long ago either... Glenn at botany motor worx and his team fitted it.

good bye old girl

Good luck with the build man!

I have your replacements waiting Ranton.

Bahahahah

should slap those on the Madaz.. you heard how quiet it was at dyno day

As the title states...

most BMWs I know of have those silly vaccume exhaust flaps...

Does the E64 650i have them

My R32 Golf had the exhaust valve and it made the car sound good all the time.. and my mums a bit bogan and likes the V8 Rumble

So is there any such valve without me having to crawl underneath the ten tonne tessa?

Thanks Guys Appreciate the Replies and help...

Some are a valve sensor setup (like my aftermarket set), but I think there is also another system that is sometimes used for OEM (possibly run off the wheel speed sensors - not sure). Either way, a reputable tyre shop that is careful and knows what they are doing should see you right.

Edit: looks like Johno beat me to it...

You can 'normal' tyres on run flat rims although it is preferential to use run flat tyres. However some people do not like the ride given by runflat tyres so prefer to use a 'normal' tyre.

Run flat rims are constructed differently to normal tubeless rims. They have a deeper and stronger bead.

From memory most BMW's do not have the sensor in the rim but rather in the hub.

What size are you currently running? Let me know and I will price up some options for you

Hey Zenetti..

The car has the Factory Converatble 19's the rears are supposed to be 275/35/19 fronts would be 245/40/19

Thanks man

i think its just a sensor on the rim itself.

we deal with cars that drive on run flats and just tell firestone the watch out for the sensor wich is next to the air valve? im pritty sure

Ok will keep this in mind also!

As far as I know, the important part of run flats are just the tyre themselves, not the rim.

i thought the abs system senses the speed difference in the wheel..

But surely just recalibrating the TPMS would see past that?

Hi all...

I've been a member once before long time ago...

I'm the Care Take of the family Automobiles as it stands...

my old Ladys 650i convertable has the 19inch wheels on it with the RE050A RFTs

now the replacement cost for the rear tyres is just plain obsene!

somewhere near 1200 each....

Can you run non RFTs on a car fitted with them OEM..

I personally hate driving on RFTs i think they are to stiff and noisy and way over priced!

------

Car is only driven around town and we can have a can of tyre foam in the boot in the case that something does go pop!

so punctures and no spare bases are already coverd...

will the sensors throw a tanty at me?

Looking at RE001A Adrenalines to put on instead...

I drive on Adrenalines in my MPS and i love them..

Cheers
