really interesting thread, as i have a 2018 m550i, and am looking at either the x5 m50i or x3mc next. my m550i has the non-runflat 20's and i have experienced a blowout from a pothole. definitely was not pleasant at 60mph, in the dark, on a very cold night. however, i did have a donut spare which has come in handy many times with this car (3 flats in 2 years - 2 screws and 1 pothole), but it also made the trunk pretty much useless. i can't even fit 2 golf bags without putting the rear seats down, and even with 1, there is very little room for anything else. i have done a very rough measurement, and i believe having the spare means you will have 9 inches less depth. not sure if that's an option you were looking at, but something to keep in mind if you do. in regards to ride height, it was lower than i expected. took me a few days to get used to, and i will scrape every so often if i'm not careful. there is at least one hill in san francisco where i drive through regularly and it will scrape and the collision warning thing will start beeping. a bit sad to hear that the exhaust note in the m550i is louder/nicer than the x5 m50i. i think it's a bit too mild, so not that keen on getting something even quieter. |

I'm keeping the draggy in the car now so I'm more aware of taking advantage of situations when they're there (ie wife's not in the car, no cops around, etc) |

That tune you are running is solid. Definitely creating more boost, or maintaining it at the higher speeds.[IMG]undefined[/IMG]
This is a recent 100-200 run. |
