Ride quality is great until you hit a pothole and crack a rim like me. I can upload pics shortly.

+1 on the risks of such big rims. They look nice but there's no way I would have 22's. Unless the roads you drive on are well maintained smoothtop, it is asking for dented wheels, wheel imbalance and trips to the dealer or tire shop for repairs and/or replacements. I've had multiple wheel repairs on 19's on my former 5 series and on both of the 750's I have had. Yes, you might be able to get wheel and tire insurance but it isn't just the money; it is the time and effort and aggravation, not to mention the unpleasantness of driving on bent wheels with wheel balance issues. If you want to switch from RFT to Non RFT, I would stay with the 20's.

I can't see that working out on the roads round Leeds! I would imagine you'd have to fit rubber band tyres to try and keep the rolling radius anywhere near giving you an accurate speedo reading as well.

She looks lovely as she is.
