What are you going to do if you have a flat then? I am also considering the exact same tire option, but there are no AS Performance RF's for the 325i sport package rims yet...
I sure hope they come out with them by winter

......... The 120 mile range of the run-flats is hopefully sufficient to get yourself to a tire dealer and either repair the flat or buy a new tire. My local BMW dealer claims he keeps the necessary tires in stock. Obviously you will get a better price from a regular tire dealer, but if you ruin a tire when far from home, I would accept the need to pay a few bucks more. This is undoubtedly a far worse problem if you have the Sport Package, which uses more unusual low profile tires. Note that the 325i uses a 205/55 x 16 tire. That is identical to what is used on a VW Beetle, and in a pinch you could buy a conventional 205/55 x 16 for about $75, and avoid spending a few days in East Oshkosh awaiting the arrival of a special tire.
