535dboy makes good sense. He has had both the cars I currently have, 535d and 3.0sd x5. The 535d I love. 146k miles now and still wonderful. The x5 rides appallingly and is forever giving me problems. Really thinking it may have to go whereas I can't bring myself to part with the 535d.

Nope. 19s and non run flats. The 535d ride is better on 30 profile rears! I tried falcons which I think maybe still quite a stiff side wall but still an improvement over rfts. Will try either those Michelins you recommended or maybe some contis next if I keep it long enough.

I haven't yet but its performance figures are very impressive but the engine noise comes in for plenty of stick from what I have read but would like a blast out in one though so I can make my own mind up.
