For my purposes, I'd prefer the Sport Package (for the seats, suspension and steering wheel) completly intact except for the wheels and tires. I think that I'd be much happier with a set of 17 x 8 wheels with some nice sticky 235/45 R-17 rubber wrapped around them. That would give me a little extra cush in the event of a pot hole without bending a wheel, and to rotate the tires (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, BMW doesn't recommend tire rotation, but that's another story) for maximum life and maximum noise reduction.
Would the handling be a little less razor sharp with 235/45 R-17s as opposed to 225/40 R-18s up front? Yeah, probably a little. That said, am I going to track my car? Nope. So, do I care? Nope.
Best Regards,
Shipo
