Not surprised it drives better now!

Those 19's have like no tyre at all it must have being bloody harsh and literally jumping on the road with those rubber bands for tyres?

This, as much as i like my 19" CSL "style" wheels on my Z4, it is a harsh ride and the wheels do actually jump all over the road, unless your on smooth tarmac good luck taking a corner in them. Hoping to downgrade mine in the next few months to 18" something like the MV2.

what tyre size is on your new wheels Grudas?

standard Z4 coupe sizes so -;

front

225/40/18

rear

255/35/18

Z4M Style 224 wheels have different offsets compared to stock Z4 style 108's for e.g. wider track is the only difference here, rear fills the arches very well! front could do with a 5mm spacer but I'm not fussed.
 
Looked good under the car park lights, shame it only stays clean for about a day at the minute!

Around half a litre of fuel per mile, at least they were probably fun miles so well worth it.
I thought I've been taking it easy with all these greasy conditions so I was expecting to get good mpg....

:eek:
The last tank included around 180 miles of motorway which upped the average.

Tyre prices are sooo much more reasonable than mine.

do it! get a set of style 108 or even 224's like mine if you can find a set and the ride will me a million times better!

have you had smaller wheels on your z4? if not then I'd say you're missing out as the difference is crazy.

Nah when I bought it last year it came with the CSL style wheels and left it at that.

I had 17s on mine - fronts were cheaper but the rears are no cheaper than 18" as it's a weird size (255/40/17), but the ride was significantly better than the 18s. Still really harsh though - the Coupe already has stiffer springs/dampers than the roadster, and then a huge proportion of Coupes are Sport pack models too, which are again stiffer. Awful ride. 17s mitigated it somewhat, but KW V3s actually improved both the ride and the body control significantly, and that's whilst being lower and being at a middle-ish setting for firmness.
 
I love everything about it apart from the headlights. People not ordering the upgraded headlights on cars like that makes me sad :(
