Interesting that you say that. I had a loan F30 320d Sport with 18" wheels (my car was in for a service) and whilst it handled well, there was a fair bit of roll in the body for my liking. The suspension sat pretty high and that kind of made my mind up to get adaptive suspension if I were to go down the F30 route.
