When we first purchased the car ( 3 weeks ago ) it came with this setup . Now am realising that it is actually very bumpy and driving on our Malaysian roads can be a rather daunting experience with regards to e potholes everywhere . My question would be , if i were to switch to a set of  17" rims with appropriate size tires , will there be much difference as far as driving comfort ( irregular surfaces noise transferred into cabin , road noise etc ) . I personally believe it will be quite a lot of difference . I dont really see why I actually need to have 18" rims apart from looks actually . But , hey ... it came with the car , what can I say ? But ... if it makes my ride more bearable over our road conditions , I'll gladly change them . BTW forgot to mention its a 330i with M Sport suspension standard. If I have to change them, then I'll have a set of rims up for sale . Any offers ? eheh Feedbacks and advise from all you sifu's out there will be greatly appreciated Xander</p></blockquote><p></p>
