I have an 2012 E88 & want to replace the run flats with normal tyres, I have 215/40/R18 on the front & 245/35/R18 on the rear. I've been told I can have 225/40/R18 all round. Will this affect the handling and comfort much or is it best to stick with BMW sizes for normal tyres.

If you have a staggered tyre setup you will probably also have a staggered wheel setup.  If you changing to the same sized tyres all round you should also change the wheels at the rear.

I'd stick to the same size.
