I've test driven a 218i with ZF transmission.
the engine revs up real good between 1500-3500. after that it is a bit dead let's say.
however, it sounds amazing. much better than 4 cylinder turbo engines.
On the prototype testing videos of the 3 cylinder engine you can see that it can reach up to 170 hp and more which makes me think that the B38 engine has a serious hidden power in it waiting to be unleashed.
About M-Sport brakes, you'll be needing 17" or more.
When you install a set without sensors, the tyre pressure warnings will pop-up of course but you will be fine.
There are a lot of people who hate run-flat tires here, and they are using regular wheels with non rft tires. Haven't heard any problems so far
