[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 285450, member: 4527"] Compare to Iswara? Did ur Iswara using stock std wheel and suspension or 17" wheels lowered suspension with skirt all round? My friend had an E60 M Sport on BBS 19". Almost every other week, it has to sent to body shop because the low, fat car and huge wheel too easy to scrub curbs, more so after a night of hard liquor. He finally gave up and got himself a chauffeur.. The 17" runner is less forgiving when it comes to driving too near to the curb on side parking. My stock std E90 before the wheel can touch the curb side parking head first, the lower lip would scrub the curb. I am not upgrading my rim in the near future because need to get familiarised with it using it as training wheel.. :p Even if you are talking about "L" parking, a Perdana is easier to park because both E90 and E60 is fatter than a Perdana and the wide 225 or 245 tyre is not helping in the turning radius, despite a rear wheel drive car should be able to turn more. If head in, the lip can potentially hit the cement stopper which is about a brick height, if u reverse in, then u have problem loading your grocery with boot facing in. Bro! Your worry is real! Get use to it and u'll be fine! I usually take my MPV out for grocery trip and I can park above the curb also no problem. :D More over too many irresponsible shopper will just squeeze their trolley in between cars leaving scratches on your door. Something I want to avoid. Thinner car will have better chance to survive in such abusive environment. [/QUOTE]
