Wife's new Estoril X1
After 5 months, it finally arrived. (M-sport with Assistance Plus)
Quick impressions - rides quieter and smoother on Dunlop 19" run flats than the October test drive (non msport on 18" rims); adaptive cruise is great and consistent; standard stereo is WAY better than my old e90; sports seats better than e90 sports seats - better fit as they appear slightly smaller; & surprisingly quick (even up changing at 3500 revs as we run it in). Most importantly my wife is VERY happy (coming from a golf convertible). |

That looks beautiful, congrats!! Thanks for your impressions as well. I wonder if the DDC has anything to do with the better ride than the early demos without DDC. We are getting ours tomorrow so will see how the Bridgestone 19" tyres are.

All this feedback on ride improvements is great news as my only worry was it may be harsh like my wife's current Mercesdes. However having driven an X Line on 19" wheels I figured the stiffer set up can't make the car as bad as her current one.
Our car is going to have the same set up as yours so thanks for the write up |

EB is a great colour! Good to hear you're finding it comfortable, too.
