F30/31 queries
Discussion
I am looking into getting a more practical car, and I am looking into F31 320d's
I want one with pro nav and harman kardon, which by looking at it most with these options have the m sport plus pack (which gets you h/k)
I have a few questions though for owners:
1) On the m sport models, what's he bumper clearance like? Do you have to be careful with kerbs/speed bumps etc? My GTD can be a bit of a pain with some humps/ramps in car parks etc but it's the undertray not the bumper that takes the flack. I am a little concerned it would be quite easy to damage the bumper on an m sport.
2) on the pro nav, what is the app integration like with Spotify/Deezer etc? If the car is over 3 years old do you have to subscribe to the app services? If so is it worth it?
3) tyres - the 19 inch run flats seem to be rather pricey, I'm assuming there's no issue swapping to non runflats?
Thanks in advance

I've not had any ground clearance / bumper issues with my f31 . Lots of people fit lowered springs and haven't heard any adverse comments .
Spotify works fine for me with the phone plugged in and playing through media. Sound through the h k is really good . I don't believe there are any issues changing to non runflats ( sometime suggest to inform insurance ? ). But try one on runflats as they are not as bad as , say , 10 years ago .

Thanks, regarding the run flats it's not the ride but more the cost. Decent normal tyres are about 120-140 each and run flats are 220-300 each, which when I do 20k a year there's potential for all 4 needing replacing in 1 year which would be costly.Spotify works fine for me with the phone plugged in and playing through media.
