I wouldn't put them on my CS if you gave them to me.

Have to respectfully disagree with you. Had run flats on a Z4; I thought the treadwear was not out of the ordinary, and they gave me peace of mind. I did not track the car and have no intention of tracking my Cayman. In my opinion, the puncture goop for the Cayman is a joke, a bad joke, particularly if you are in the the middle of no where with no cell service.
You are correct about repairing the run flats; BMW will not, they want you to replace the tire.
My friend has a 2008 Corvette with 435 HP with run flats, and the car handles very well. Seems to me Porsche could find a better solution than a bottle of goop.
