Doug,

The Z4 3.0's sport suspension, with its heavy-ish (25lbs each) 18 inch wheels on Bridgestone Re50 runflats provide not only a bone-jarring ride on CT roads, but a lot of skittering and scampering as well.

I'm currently, for winter, running non run flats on 17's, the scampering is gone and the ride is better, but the shocks seem to have a tendency to snap on rebound, especially in the rear - also, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of wheel travel with this suspension (the car IS low, really low).

Since most of the problem (and my objections) seem to occur on washboard surfaces, FSD's seem like a good solution.
