Much prefer the normal steering, didn't think much of the active steering. The ride is just fantastic much better than the 530d with the 124's on regular suspension. This car has come with Goodyear Runflats my old one had Bridgestones, I find the Goodyears better.

You sure the 124's had bridgestones? (I didn't think BS did the 275 tyre). I thought the BS were rated well about the Goodyears?

[/quote]I think they were Bridgestones could be wrong though. Goodyear have just bought out a new tyre called run on flat which is getting great reviews from the motoring press, they are saying it is the best run flat tyre yet.

I note you didn't opt for Active Steering? How do you feel after trying both? Also, how does the ride compare with the 124's?

Very Nice 
May I suggest some 15mm spacers for the rear wheels.
Makes a big difference when looking at the car from the rear.

I like the dark tinted windows. Want to do the same, it's so hot in Southern California.
