Do you have information on the latest generation of runflat tyres for my BMW 530i?

I read one of your letters sometime ago mentioning the latest generation of runflat tyres. Can you direct me to the latest information as I cant find it on your website? I have a BMW 530i.

I tested Bridgestone RFT3s in Italy in Spring 2009, but nothing seems to have come of them. I don't think BMW approved then as OEM and I can't get any sensible information out of Bridgestone. What seems to have happened is that BMW has favoured Dunlop and is fitting Dunlop's latest generation runflats to the F10 5-Series. They certainly rode well in our test of the F10.
