The car seems to have a little more sideways movement when cornering, almost as if the tyre wall has a bit of play in it because of the reduced rigidity.

It makes complete sense on a 7 series to do this but on a 3/4 series unless you have low profile tyres I've found that the fun of driving this type of car is taken away a bit due to the rolling described above.
Hmm; maybe what you describe is it.

Have to take her out again today to see.

Also going to adjust air pressures in the coming week.
