Msport and tire question
I never considered the Msport, coz of the $$$$ just for cosmetic upgrades. But I am starting to like them a lot, not sure if I will end up getting the M sport or not but had a few questions.
If I get the Msport line, does it come with sport seats automatically? are these seats comfortable? Are there different tire sizes for Msport vs. non msport lines. I saw a youtube video of a guy getting his X5 with Msport and the front tires were 275 and the rear were 315, looked so beefy and I loved those. Is this standard or just for Msport? |

Yes, M Sport comes with sport seats or you can upgrade to the multi contour. I can't say if you will find sport seats comfortable. I have sport seats in my f30 and they are great for zipping around town and dreadful on long trips for me. In our F15 I opted for multi contour because we will be traveling a lot in it. For what it's worth, I think you are right though to be thinking M-Sport. I find the F15 is stunning regardless, but the M-Sport kit just adds a little extra that I think you would miss if you pondered and then chose against it. When we ordered our's, we went through s No-Line/Luxury/M-Sport progression and I am thankful that I ended up with the M-Sport. Hope this was helpful.

MSport is something that I will regret if I don't get it, totally changes the look of the car. The best being the MSport Adaptive suspension, makes corner a lot better than a normal suspension. I sat in my friend's 35i without the MSport, his suspension was not comparable to mine, it was noticeable that it was designed to be a balance between comfort and sport.

M Sport is a must for me on these F15's...but that's just my personal opinion.

I wouldn't say it's a must. I like the running boards which don't look very good with the M-Sport.
That said the 20" staggered setup definitely look more sporty than than the 19" setup, even though I sometimes which I had higher profile tires to deal with crappy roads. |

Just beware that you'll get literally half the mileage out of 20" RF tires.
I have 19" on my Msport and my brother has 20" on his...I get about 35k miles out of my tires, he struggles to get even to 20k. |

My current 2009 Rav4 v6 had run flats and the ride was so rough, I replaced it with regular tires and so much difference and better ride. I definitely am not one of those who likes rough/stiff rides. So would the 19" be a better choice? with run flats do they give comfortable ride? |

Based on your comments above I would do two things...
Get the standard 19" wheels with all season RFT... but even the all season RFT will ride stiff / rough compared to traditional tires. Get the 20" wheels and repalced the RFT with a non RFT.. the popular choice is Conti DWS06 all seasons. You can still enjoy the look of the 20" and the wide steamroller rears Here is food for thought.. my 20" RFT rides much stiff and rougher than a 22" all season non rft.

M sport plus all the nice opt. I regret not getting the Contour seats and leather dashboard, plus Stop / Go ACC. However, the price tag will hit 80k if I add them. Saved that money for M performance parts. lol
