My Ride: E60 530d M Sport
Hi
I'm in an E60 M Sport with 19" 172's and there are some days that I love the sporty feel, and the ride quality is great.
Then on days when I'm looking for comfort above everything else, I start to find the ride quality quite hard, unforgiving and tiring to drive.
My recommend is get the VDC and have the best of both worlds whenever you like. Haven't been in an F10 yet myself, but when I change cars its something I will defo look into, as I spend a lot of time in my car, on crap roads.
Downside is all this expensive technology, as the car gets older and out of warranty. But if you intend to move it on after 3 years it shouldn't be an issue.
Good luck with your new car! What did you order?

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
The F10 needs PDC - it's a must.
And then I would consider the 17" wheels, they are simply too small for the F10.
Here's 20" vs. 17" wheels.
