Meruyailir, no it's not as simple as fitting RFTs as the vehicle is not designed for RFTs and doesn't have tire pressure control (TPC) or the indicators that are required for RFTs, as do none of the other M BMW's, and that's why you can't fit RFTs, because you wouldn't know when they go flat or start losing just the tiniest bit of pressure, and that could be very dangerous. Another thing is, the suspension is not designed for the additional unsprung mass of RFT tyres.

If you already have a BMW, then I'd say just take the risk. Just carry a firearm in your M3 if you can, are you allowed to carry firearms in your country? I recommend the Glock 20C with 15+2 clips and a mix of Hydrashock + powerful penetrator ammunition for self defense. Or the FN Five-Seven if you can get it, with the SS109 ball ammo - it'll penetrate over 30 layers of Kevlar at 200 yards. Oops. Off topic.

Anyway, the M3 won't come with RFTs and can't have RFTs.

Best regards,
