A great car if a little rare on British roads - I went for the 17 inch wheels non run flat - no trace of jitters at all and rides as good as my old 330D with adaptive suspension. I think the tyres make the difference as they are 225/55 17s witha 5 inch well cushioned sidewall and no trace of harshness that larger wheels may have. I'm pleased you're enjoying this rather rare car!

I ideally wanted to run smaller tyres, but we ended up getting a strong deal on a car with the 19s. In the UK would suspect the optional 20s would be ridiculous!
We also have it in the galvanic gold, so definitely a rare sight around these ends!
The 300hp engine must be sweet in this car. Wonder if they will do a full fat M...
