Thats a huge clanger on Alpinas part isnt it!!
Nah not really a lot of BM owners seem to be ditching the run flats and putting some mousse in the boot for emergencies.

Another car to consider next year if you want coupe looks blended with performance and economy - Alpina are putting the diesel from the 123D coupe in to the 3 seires coupe, twin turbos and 214bhp, 0- 60 6.0sec and 152 mph top speed, circa 34K, Mmmmm
The Alpina coupe does look nice although it's 0-62mph onn 6.9 secs
How big are you? I'm 5 11 and not slim, but the TT was always easy to get in and out of.
The forums are an excellent source of info but we do all have to be careful we don't become too biased purely based on ownership there are a lot of really good other brands out there equally as good as our currently owned vehicles

Remove the runflat tyres but dont put a spare in!! I almost cant quite believe it!
Does your car have a hollow under the boot liner for a spare or do you have a dirty great wheel kicking around in the boot?
I misread the post. I wrote it thinking there was no provision for a flat tyre!!
I don't think it's a "clanger", because they're not alone in this practice.
My brother's Punto doesn't have runflats, but he doesn't have a spare wheel either.
He has the mousse/compressor option too.
I dare say it *must* work fine, I'm just not comfy with it, so I have taken the option of losing a bit of boot space and sticking a normal alloy/tyre in there instead.
No big deal, I hardly ever use the boot, and it's only a small alloy anyway.
For every old-fashioned/worried/paranoid owner like me, there's probably 10 that are quite happy with the mousse/compressor.
Good god, that would be a clanger...
