any tips for softening up the suspension on the above model? it has the 19 inch alloys and run flats which don't exactly assist but I'm looking to make the ride a bit more comfortable...

Wheels and tyre combo. Reducing the wheel size, allows you to increase the profile.

Coming from someone who runs 20" Summer wheels and 17" Winter ones there is no replacement for having a fatter "balloon" style tyre. It does seem primarily a more UK disease as other countries in the EU seem generally to have more sensible wheels.

Ditch the runflats. I did on my 3 series (Bridgestone s001s) and went to Michelin ps4. The ride is still hard but is less jarring over rough surfaces. It highlighted how hard the ride was when I had a 3 series hire car with pirelli runflats on. Good god it was like driving with concrete wheels.

yeah i did think that was probably the easiest option also saving a bit of cash with runflats being more expensive, thanks for the advice smile
