Is it the runflats I\'m feeling?
Picked up our X35 MSport from PCD Wednesday. Will share that experience in another post.
The only thing that I'm unsettled about is the ride compliance. On seemingly smooth pavement, the car feels like it jiggles with any defect, akin to a bunch of small wrinkles in the pavement. Sometimes, at highway speeds, she's a smooth as could be. But it seems that whenever the roads are less that perfect, she's got the shakes. Even with MSport, I would expect an SAV to respond a bit better to road conditions. I know the suspension isn't that stiff, cause she doesn't hold those corners like the M3 (lol), but I was expecting a smoother ride, at least not with that much feedback from the road.
I've always replaced the wheels on my other BMWs with non RFT, and I am extremely close to doing the same on this one tomorrow, if indeed it sounds like they are the problem.
I have the Goodyear RFTs with the 19"MSport wheels.
