Road noise seemed to increase. I think that's just a function of the lighter wheels :shrug:

Hmmm, so the noise went up but the ride quality still increased ?

Do you feel less bumps now with the lighter wheels and non RFT tires? I'm seriously debating replacing my OEM 396 wheels with EC-7, but I'm on the verge of finding the ride uncomfortable with the M Perf suspension. I don't want to add lighter wheels and make the ride more bumpy. (I'll be replacing the OEM A/S pirelli RFTs with Michellin Pilot A/S 3 when they are out next month)
I'm considering the MPS. You find it uncomfortable? My dealer doesn't have an F30 with MPS but said I could come test an M3. Shiv mentioned the ride is about 20% less than the M3. Maybe I will so that before ordering.
