Jo, you're not starting to be converted to the 'dark side' are you?

Wouldn't say the handling was horrible on mine, but it was just a bit boring. It was running on 16s, which probably improved the ride (along with the smooth German roads)

Perhaps - mine is on 17's and it dives all over the road, scares me senseless. Both of them have done it - I've heard rumours it's the runflats, but it scares the sh*t out of me on anythin gother than a flat road!

Mine were on runflats too and it was much much more stable than my S2k. The german roads probably make a huge difference as well though, I was quite happy going up to 200+kmh on the autobahn

I had the same issue with the Z4 that I drove, its not really the run flats, as IIRC they are only on the 18"s ?? The 3.0 has a much harder suspension than the 2.0 / 2.2 / 2.5 and on bumpy roads causes the car to go all over the place. On a smooth glass road it drives well though.

Anyway back on topic, congrats, great pics, looks like you had an amazing time!

Not quite back to reality yet. 2 days at work then off to Arran is a good way to wind back up to working again
