Thanks all for your thoughts and advice.

I've decided I'm not happy with how it sits/fits on the 224's so have ordered some CSL's.

I had plenty of interest in the 224's before putting them up for sale and have since taken a deposit for them.

My car is not a daily, I have the occasional blast for an hour in the Peaks but mostly use it for trips to and fro the Golf Club. The 'Look' is more important than the ride if I'm honest and I've lusted over a Z4C with CSL's for quite some time.

On to the next chapter, I hope I'm happy.... :roll: with how it turns out.

I went with a set of 224’s on my 3.0si having had 326’s prior.
I took Mr Wilk’s advice and went for 245-40-18 and 225-40-18. I haven’t looked back.

Apologies the photo isn’t great to show them!

I have 224s, non-sport suspension and conti’s 225/40 & 255/35 on a non-M. I too think the rears are a bit too aggressive but after looking your picture might give 245/40 a try. Eibachs would probably also help.
