Sports package advantages or benefits?
I am new to sports car. I am thinking about buy a 328 but don't know if I should add the ZPP. I am not sure what advantages Zpp will provide. I only hear people complained about the tires worn faster than non-sport. Also, will there any physical looks between sport and non sport package?

I am also thinking about change to non RFT, so should I trade them off as soon as I get the car or drive due they are worn? because I heard a lot of bad noise thing about RFT. Which way should I do to save more$?

Well said Ward. Don't have the sports suspension just because you think its the right thing to do and you just want a 'sporty' car. Many people who have the sports suspension can't drive properly in the first place !
Only have it if you really want it and you like the feel it gives you. The ride is much harsher and will make the car skip and feel generally more nervous on the road but some people really like that feeling. I had the M Sports suspension last time around and this time on the E90 have the standard Euro suspension and find it just as good but with a more comfortable ride / less nervous on the road. Its horses for courses - as was said before - try both and make a personal decision. |

I was nervous about the noise and comfort issues that i've seen posted here re: run flat tires and sports suspension. But I haven't noticed any of these issues at all after picking up my car. as others have said, it is a personal matter and i suggest that you drive them to see which you like.

About the ride stiffness, unlike others have said, I don't feel the ride stiffness is all that harsh. If you have your tires inflated to the factory settings I find the ride very nice, but of course, as others have said, it's all about personal preference.
