A – Technically Yes, BMW however does not recommend this (with the exception of an emergency situation where a Run Flat tyre is not available. In this case the tyre must be replaced with a Run Flat tyre at the earliest opportunity). The reason for this is that no spare wheel will be fitted to vehicles with Run Flat, therefore there is the risk of a situation of getting a puncture and having no spare wheel and no run flat tyre to drive on. Note: 5 Series (E60) 530i, 530d, 545i and 550i are the only models to have Run Flat technology and an emergency spare wheel.
