Looks good. Interesting opinions on the 18" wheels against the 19"
I have the M Sport with 19" wheels and agree the ride is firmer than I would like but getting used to it.
Would appreciate some detailed feedback once you have driven your new version for a while.

Sorry, looks like I'm late to the party. Congratulations! I recently picked up a 30i with the M Sport package, without the adaptive suspension, 19" wheels, and I'm very pleasantly surprised with the ride. I too was concerned and anticipated having to purchase an 18" tire and wheel package to get reasonable ride comfort. I'm happy to be wrong.

I am assuming that to have 18" tyres you would have to change the 19" rims?
I don't mind the firmer ride although it is significantly stiffer than my 35is even when that was in sport or adaptive, but the wife comments quite often that it doesn't ride as well and is less comfortable. Don't use sport mode when she is in the car. Much to harsh.
Just out of interest for anyone with a M40i, do these have the same stiff suspension as my M30i Sport?

I have m40i. I haven't driven 30i yet so can't comment on the difference. Considering the M40i has more power, I assume M40i's suspension should be firmer than 30i.
However, I find the M40i in comfort mode is quite comfortable in general unless the road is really bad or the speed bump is too big. Sport or sport+ is indeed too firm.
