Hi there,

With out driving this car its a bit hard to tell, but you are the one that has to sit in it every day, if you are unhappy with the ride, go talk to an independent suspension specialist, get them to drive it and get an opinion on what they recommend.

As usual, I am in agreement with Mark. Has the vehicle been altered at all, does it have BMW recommended wheels and tires? Are they the correct ones for the car? Has the car got the wheel/tires on it that it came stock with? The complexity of these cars does not usually compromise the ride, unless there is another piece to the puzzle we are ignorant to.

I will have to agree with Dr. Hagerty, I purchased this 750IL level 5 protection package with the aftermarket wheels

and the car road and steered like a piece of garbage, once I changed the wheels back to factory I thought I was cruising in my private Learjet, due to the fact that he is not responding only leads me to the conclusion that "unless there is another piece to the puzzle we are ignorant to"
