We have an SE and it was spected with the dynamic pack so sports suspension, 20's with the slightly wider  rear arches, also has running boards and sports seats but I don't know if they are also part of this pack.
Ride was harsh on RFT's, changed them over to Michelin Latitude Sport 3 non RFT's and the ride is now so much better.
Also got over 20k out of them, we have the normal 5 seater so I bought the BMW space saver and Jack kit that hoes in the lower boot.

This is great insight Martin, thank you. I seem to have the exact same spec as yours including the running boards and sports seats also. So simply changing the tyres on the 20" Wheels improved the ride? How does it behave on poor/gravel roads now, do you know?
