I had the steering wheel vibration problem and I've been to BMW service to correct it . They minimized it and it was barely noticeable ! However after wheel change it came back and was more pronounced, then I thought: oh no ! luckily after 2 more wheel balance sessions it was minimized . I used the word minimized bcos i can feel it sometimes but it is not demonstrable ! maybe 19" wheel makes road imperfection into vibration on the steering wheel???
handling is always good and I get used to the noise level in the car . Hifi sound is now acceptable and I soon ignored the apparent poor quality of the trim materials. engine noise is the same: it sounds and feels like diesel when it first starts and gets better when it is warmed up . At highway cruising speed it is barely noticeable (wind noise and road noise take ever) ! N20 has adequate power even with 3 adults and 1 baby+car seat on board but I never tried to push it: I am still running in the car. it is just over 1000 km now.
the car looks much better with 19" wheel !
