I also live on the coast and the crosswind issue didn't come up on my test drives. I tried to drive a sport and non-sport but now I'm wondering as they both had 18" staggered tires and I don't see that option on a non-sport. There are some things you learn as you go along and this is my first BMW.
Also, some of us have to chose what we can afford and give up a few things.
Make no mistake however; Sport or Non Sport, this car is no sofa or MB.

My car has never been susceptible to crosswinds and I drive a high percentage of my miles on long straight highways. I encounter strong winds a lot.
No adaptive steering on my car. I -do- have the US sport pkg and runflats.
