The negatives for BMW's latest generation of cars are similar to negatives for MB, Audi and others eg efficiencies have forced electronic steering, regulation has forced safety making cars heavier.
At the end of the day, its down to personal preference, Moff. My ideal set up seems to be 19" run flats (goodyear eagle f1's) on adaptive - which is probably very similar to 19" non run flats on passive, in fact
The test drive cars I've driven recently have been on run flats of course, which is a pain, as you can only compare adaptive vs passive on RFTs - if you can find the cars, that is. I ended up going all over the place
