17", tyre pressures checked every 2 / 3 weeks and kept about 1psi above BMW normal load pressure. Car was also tracked at BMW after about 2000miles because the steering wheel was off centre from new. The tracking was set in the middle of the BMW settings.

Something strange, the front wheels seemed to have some serious lining problems.
But the rear wheels I do not get, there must have been some problems there also.
A wrecked car in some way...


Anyway, I hope everything is fine with your new car now

I think the front tyre wear is due to hard cornering ..and the rear tyres hard aceleration . What have other people got out of Bridgestone Run Flats?

Just picked up my new 520d M Sport from the dealer. Having just traded in my 520d SE, I was expecting the ride on the M Sport with 19" wheels to be much harsher, but to my surprise the M Sport is so much smoother and rides bumps so much better! All I can think of is that it is because the 19" wheels on the M Sport have normal tyres and not run-flats like the old SE. Anyway I am really pleased with the car, it is so much more precise to drive than the SE and the comfort seats are just awesome.
Agree on all counts
