Advice - looking at 320i/330i AUC

Hi All,

I'm looking to return to BMW as I loved the 2016 F30 320i i had. Currently have a Golf GTi that annoys me due to the excessive road noise.

A couple of questions for you:

1) am looking at 2019/2020 G20. Do they have Android auto? (need to replace my phone soon as dying and as I want a BMW, not sure if i have to go for an iphone if only has Apple car play)
2) ride on MSport - i know lots of articles say the M Sport suspension is too stiff. I test drove a G20 a while ago and thought it was ok on 18" wheels with MSport, about the same or maybe slightly better than my mk7.5 Golf. Any others who have driven both have any thoughts?
3) i read somewhere the 18" wheels are non runflats. Is that right? I found the RFT on my previous BMW fine. And much quieter than my golf
4) any other things i need to look out for?

Many thanks

ive just bought a 2019 330i

its got android auto yes, although it wouldnt work correctly with my p30 pro (more an issue with the p30 than the car)

try and look for one with adaptive suspension, its fine in eco or comfort but does get noticibly harder in sport/sport+

no idea about the runflats, but seeing as even the F30's came with runflats on 18s id expect it to be the same here

just look for decent spec in all honesty, packs as far as the eye can see if you can

Seconded the thing about adaptive suspension. Night and day difference.

My 2019 320i came with 18" runflats. I changed them recently for non runflats to improve ride comfort. It's like a different car now in my opinion.
