My Ride: 535 D - to be delivered end Feb 2005 - color E08 - comfort seats - executive leather balck - 122 wheels - dynamic drive - active steering - pack luxe - tecnology pack - moon roof - 6CD player - hifi system - spare wheel - BT phone
Since I am driving my new 535D with dynamic drive, I found the rear suspension pretty harsh. The front is OK.
The car is equiped with 122 wheels (245/45/17 W) and Goodyear NCT5.
I use the lowest air pressure indicated on the sticker: 2,6 bars.
Is it runflat related or any DD malfunction?
Any feedback or advice?

My Ride: '05 545 Sport Week 9
Just picked up my new 545 and was pleasantly suprised by the ride quality...much nicer than I recall from test drive. Drove all through Europe on all kinds of roads and it was great. What car are you comparing it to?

I do not think it is DD related. My new 520 Sport on 18" Goodyear RFT's is somewhat crashy from rear suspension on poorly surfaced roads. On good roads the ride is excellent. I did reduce the tyre pressures on delivery to recommended unladen pessures as indicated on the door jamb sticker.

Same sensation with my car.
I think is related to runflats, but I will ask the dealer if any DD set-up is available.
