You'll notice a shimmy/vibration in the cabin (wasn't so much the steering wheel)......or while making a turn give it gas and see how the suspected bent wheel reacts.

Now I know which wheel is bent and can tell that its not normal. Was hoping that since it was a slight bend it wouldn't be noticable.

These are the 124 sport pack. wheels, and as said its either the runflats or the wheels are just garbage (or both).

I-drive is a personal thing, I'm just not into it and actually prefer Lexus school of thought that they don't believe in one central controller for most of the cars functions. So if you look in a new LS interior, its an airplane.
I am sorry to hear of those somewhat unfortunate events/repairs. I feel your pain. I strongly agree that the I-Drive thing is very much an individual opinion. Some drivers seem to like it and others don't. I am afraid that autos of the future will probably have less and less knobs. I am a BMW fanatic so it's very easy for me to lean towards their engineering and vehicle dynamics.
I am not a Lexus fan at all. Just my opinion though...humble at that.

123s are tough (they're 18s) - never a problem on my car with the runflats - I have the much maligned Dunlops too. Clearcoat seems to be very easy to clean brakedust off of as well.

I have the non-Nav iDrive (different main computer) and it's fast - instantaneous actually. Just a trade-off I guess.
