330d M sport, with variable suspension, to suit me as a daily drive to my other car... going for 19" wheels is hardly the wrong decision (for me)...

But buying a 330d M sport, opting for 18" wheels because it makes the ride better... perhaps the wrong decision... Honda, 330d luxury come to mind?

Each to their own... which I respect... I've been laughing not getting angry

I know what's right for me, and it's what I'd recommend to others if they wanted a more sporty looking car.

Happy Easter!

Yeah! The weather. It's crazy. The worst Spring ever and I've been on this planet for a long, long time.

Really love the car to bits. The engine, gearbox, ride, handling, roadholding, comfort, sound system, manic acceleration etc, etc, are the stuff of wet dreams! It's so very right. I'll can it tomorrow when the roads are empty.

You cheeky chappie. Don't knock it and just because you want your car to look tarty!

I agree, the only annoyance I have so far, is it doesn't remember to be in Eco pro mode when setting off... when I have the 7 week old kids in I actually prefer the less harsh throttle response. Having this option is great though.

Coding would sort that though I'm sure.

Sunny here, good driving weather other than a bit cold... no more snow please.

You could always try and swap them with someone who has 19" wheels... they would probably be only too glad to given all the problems listed :-p.

Thanks for that I have asked about a trade and awaiting the cost???

Took my car into BMW MK last week with corrosion on 403's, and they have agreed to replace all 4 under warranty.

The corrosion is small but spreads out from the centre cap area.

Interestingly, if the cap is removed, very rusty inside and signs of trapped water.
