Definitely not curbed them.
A lot of potholes in North Cheshire area.

Mine are 18" alloys.
How are you getting on with your 18/19" alloys ?
And before you comment, I already wear glasses. There are just too many deep potholes everywhere to avoid them.
My wife's Lexus IS 250 on16" alloys never seems to get damaged.
I am not bothering getting this alloy repaired at the present time, I'll be spending £100 every few weeks at this rate.
I must admit this 328 is the first car I have had with run flats and I think that there are far more disadvantages than advantages with them. Too noisy, too unforgiving, the car 'crashes' into potholes, too expensive to replace , punctures can't be repaired etc.
Not many advantages.
You've heard it all before.
How awful to have a double.
You are falling out of love, no wonder.

I have been to your part of the world and the roads are terrible. You need a tractor in Cheshire or a tank in North Cheshire.

Have you got M Sport Adaptive Suspension? It is a must have for BMW F30s in the UK. In 'comfort' mode, the ride is sublime.
