zzeke Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I'm just curious about ride quality, handling, etc. with the 18" wheels and tires. I have never used 18" before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty1975 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have a 2001 330 I sport, the ride quality is super and (in the dry) it sticks to the road very well with my 18's &DS. I would say though, the mpg is not as much as I would have hoped, I get aroud 27-30mpg. Also, I am not so sure on the performance, I cant keep up with a Clio sport or Seat Ibiza....sad I know.

Velour Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I have a 2002 330D with the 18" MVs. It's a sport saloon model. The ride is firm but not uncomfortably so, you do notice potholes, drain covers etc. The plus is that it sticks to the road well. Very well - never any problems there. Agree with Gareth, worth a test drive to see what you think as I've heard other people complain that the sport springs with 18" wheels is too harsh - horses for courses. keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
