Run Flat Tires?

Hmmm. No spare tire. So, I'm curious. Is this vehicle equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring system? (Which, technically, is supposedly required if you want to use Run Flat tires.) No Run Flats, no TPM system, and no spare tire would make this a deal killer for me.

Looks like TPMS to me.

It should come with TPMS.

TPMS is mandatory in US.
It is not yet mandatory in Canada, but all BMWs have TPMS in Canada.

100% will have TPMS, why wouldn't it?

I'm pretty confident that it will come with the mobility kit. There's no chance they'd throw non-RFTs on a car without a mobility kit or spare tire.

My US-bound order includes "2VC Mobility Kit" paired with 1LM all season tires:

In Hong Kong, luckily that the TPMS is standard equipment come with the iX. But it costed me USD2,000 with my 530e as it was an option for 530e...

I am glad I canceled the order. More and more weird stuff...
