I havent found one yet, I bet it wont be very soon, its bad enuf that they cant seem to get the rear 255s RFT readily available. much less put more into the equation.
... the only way I'd run RFT tire again is if its winter, bcoz i hate to be stuck in the snow with a flat.

The front tires shouldn't be hard to find all seasons as they're the same size as what comes standard on the 330i. It's the rear sizes I'm worried about....and then making them all match....  This should be fun

New generation of Pirelli P Zero Nero runflats written up in this month's Road and Track may be the ticket. I will certainly consider them if available in the proper sizes when the Bridgestones on my to-be-delivered 330i w/sport need relacement.

One thing to note, for those who live in areas with chain controls (ie california)....the max BMW approved tire size for changes is 225/45/17. so the staggered rears don't meet bmw standards for chains.
It would be interesting to see if the BMW standard is conservative, or if any of the "sub S" chains would work.

Good point squirtdad! for it does say that in the owners manual, 255 tires for 17, 18, 19 inchers are not recommended, in fact BMW snow chain accesories, are not available for those wide tires.
Another point to remember for snow chain users, out there this season, to not reinitialize the flat indicator sensors with chains installed, as per owners manual. Most know that of crse!
