TPM was not reset after the runlets where removed, lost pressure without indication and on a on a bad road the results are as seen.

Why wasn’t the system reset?

I think it’s best not to have the tyre fitter piddle about with iDrive - who knows what settings they could screw up?

Agreed!

Run flats are going on mine tomorrow. The Bridgestone RFs are just too nervous generally on wet roads and are easily upset with the slightest mid-corner bump. I’m sure there are better RF tyres available now but I’m switching to Uniroyal Rainsport 4. Can’t wait!

Right podres week one update. Best decision hands down. Grip on wet and comfort holy !!! Anyone waiting to do the jump do it. Regarding the cockwamble, left my tyres without checking them through the week and only did it today. The individual set the fronts to 35psi and the rears to 35psi aswell. I did notice after the wear in period the comfort went abit strange so i upped the rears to 40psi as a test and the front to 37psi and ladies and gentlemen the z4 is one comfy beast of a machine

It may have been a painful process, but it's great to hear you are so pleased with the end result!
