with the 20"s the ride gets slightly worse in terms of noise and feel. The tires will rub so you will have to roll your fenders. They'll still rub when you are going over potholes, speed bumps, driveways and especially when you have people in the car. You will have to drive slowly and very carefully.... other than that they'll look dayaam good..

A lot of people, including magazines b*tch and complain about the runflats. How they make the car skittish on the expressways. Runflat tires are basically rock hard (mostly the sidewall). That's what allows them to run for up to 80-100km after you've lost air. But now you've gotten 20's... there are a few things that will probably change. On highways, your car may be more stable as opposed to the runflats. Vancouver roads are in pretty good shape, so I wouldn't be too worried about tramlining (the tendency for low profile, wide tires to follow ruts on the road). The other thing you'll probably have to be wary of with 20's is the rims bending due to potholes and bumps. The preventative measure for this is driving very slow everywhere you go. And curb rashes. Both of these are expensive problems that come with big*ss wheels! Congrats on the 20's and careful driving!
thanks for the info....i will take some pic and update...as soon as i get them

You're secondguessing youself cuz the car isn't here yet!
I thought of getting a 330i coupe but then again, the 5'er belongs in a different class and people look at it that way....
Get the e60 and just enjoy it!!
