My Ride: 520d F10, Sport Auto, Black, sun protection, Oyster/Black with Anthracite, Ambient lighting.
I would appreciate your thoughts on ride and handling and where fitted with a sport auto box how does selecting sport change things. If anyone has VDC fitted with 17" wheels how does this change things. I've just ordered my car but still not 100% on the exact spec.
Many Thanks

Since BMW sells the F10 with 17" rims the handling must be good enough with them.
The car looks amputated, though.
Or maybe I just like my 20" wheels with non-RF tires too much.

With the state of the roads in the UK I've gone for ride over looks. Not sure if it's my eyes playing tricks but I've gone for a black car and by adding shadowline trim it seems to make the 17" wheels look less lost, try it on the BMW configurator.
