Car sold with illegal mix of tyres - what can I do?
I have discovered that my recently purchased BMW 6 Series has run flats on the rear axle, but none on the front. I am trying to persuade the BMW dealer to replace the front with a pair of run flats, what argument should I use?

That for the car to be on this mix of tyres is now an MoT failure, therefor he sold you a car in unroadworthy condition and is liable to make it roadworthy. Or give you your money back.

Sleek looks and more handsome than previous 6 Series. Powerful yet economical 640d has an epic engine. Amazingly refined.
