These were original fit, and have done 34000 miles, just thinking of replacing now or in the near future - I must be a different sort of driver than most on here, but still don't try to overtake me if I think you are being cheeky. The Bridgestones are poor, just not resilient enough, confirming my worst fears about runflats and the idiots at BMW who condemn you to using them. I've done 8000 miles with some Pirelli Sottozero Winter tyres, also runflat of course and with the same premium, but which I am tempted to keep on for summer, as they are so much quieter (no thumping on poor surfaces), and offer so much more surefooted roadholding. Don't try to get past me on a roundabout on these, though I wouldn't dare be assertive on the Bridgestones, unless they were very warm and the tarmac absolutely dry.
Your collective wisdom hasn't convinced me what to buy next, which is my current question. I usually like Michelin, as I've been in their factories and seen how meticulous they are, but they seem to leave high speed rated BMW runflats to others, regrettably.
