Ride is fairly comfortable, but on the other hand I have adaptive suspension. I also replaced Pirelli runflats with Michelin PS4S. They changed the dynamics of my car and are quieter and much smoother.

Yes I saw the same results from the PS4S, much better handling and comfort. Unfortunately Adaptive is the one want from my spec that wasn't optioned onto the closest match, which I bought. More of a nicety for the wife really, but it would no doubt make 20" wheels all the more usable.

Let's cut to the chase, how are uneven roads in sport mode?

IÂ’ll post some pics here. PS. Sorry if some the images are upside down, IÂ’m uploading them from my iPad. I donÂ’t seem to be able to fix the issue.
maan i love them Rims! bloody nice!!!

Road conditions in my country have deteriorated for years and are in a poor state. I drive everyday in Sports (Individual) mode, but leave suspension most of the time in comfort mode. Ride is firm but not harsh. Despite 20” wheels car’s suspension filters out surprisingly well most of the imperfections on the road surface. Of course 20” low profile tyres reduce comfort, but I didn’t feel a huge difference between 19” and 20” wheel set.

Beautiful specs, congratulations. I opted for Oxford Green on Tartufo for mine (a G21 though), as a tribute to the M5 Elekta in BRG

It’s BMW Individual color, which is a special order and not found on standard BMW configurator (well, there’s a couple of special color options, such as frozen paints, chosen for you by BMW/regions but that’s it). Basically you make a request thru your dealer to factory to customize your BMW order (in my case I requested it to painted in Malachite Green Metallic, BMW paint code 205). I also requested factory to paint my sidemirror covers (instead of standard Cerium Grey). In short I went to my BMW dealer and asked if it is possible to paint my car with a special color and how much would it cost, then I received a quote/price from the factory for the paintojob, signed the order and eventually waited extra four weeks factory needed to add to the assembly and paint of your car. BTW at that time (a year ago) only cars built in Germany had this option, Mexico plant didn’t have the BMW individual paint capabilities as I know, this may have changed now.

You can find the Individual Color options at https://visualizer.bmw-individual.co...=1&lang=EN#top

Looks lovely and now with hindsight, actually reminds me of San Remo quite a bit but a shade darker.
