I wonder how it feels when you hit soft offroad with these 19".
Yeah the car looks completely different with the 17" wheels.

I tried adjusting the bump stops and latch today with no luck. The car goes in for a recall on the 21st. I will have BMW fix the alignment then.

I only did about 30-50 km's on the 19" wheels and there was a dramatic difference. The winter wheels feel sloppy and handle like crap where as the summers feel planted. The car feels like a sports car with the summer wheels,handling is amazing. The NVH is a bit higher on the summers but that comes with the territory. I much prefer the ride of the summers so far.
