Yes this sounds crazy but hear me out. I just got a CPO 2006 530i sport/nav a little over a week ago. I was wondering if the non-sport package car is a lot smoother in terms of ride. Would I be crazy to trade my car in for a CPO 550i without sports (about the same miles)? Would I be ripped off by doing this (probably!)?
Anyways just a thought, or maybe I should just get non-run flat tires

Definitely cheaper to get non-RF tires

but way hotter with a 550i

You've had an e60 for ten days? Maybe you're just having a little buyer's remorse? See how you feel in a month. Either way, ditch the runflats, though.
