The best option is to check the part numbers with BMW and see what can be fitted.

"Some" wheels maybe. I've never had an issue with any vehicle I have swapped from RFT to non-RFT.
From Tire Rack:
Many drivers are uncertain whether they can put non-run-flat tires on wheels that originally came with run-flat tires. The short answer: yes.
Run-flat tires and regular tires that are the same numeric size will have the same physical dimensions, and can fit properly on the same wheels. The only difference with run-flat wheels is they usually have an extra hump behind the bead seat. This hump would help keep the run-flat tire in its proper place on the wheel while driving without air pressure. It does not affect the performance or compatibility of the non-run-flat tire.
