Otherwise look for 700x30-32C gravel tires, a flat handlebar, flat bar brake levers with road pull (Shimano Tiagra are economical and look just fine as well as shifters). 105 is probably 10 or 11 speed, so check out Microshift thumb shifters with the correct indexing. Reverting to a road bike would also be fairly easy if you retained the STI brake-shift levers and drop bars.
Nope the BMC is equipped with 105 caliper brakes. Thanks,I appreciate the information.
