I live in socal and the roads here are below subpar. Actually the weight between the 2.8i and 3.5i can be as much as 400 pounds, since the 3.5i comes standard with pano sunroof.My car is a pretty basic slicktop (aka no sunroof) m sport s drive 2.8i with lightning and power front seats as the only options and it weighed in at only 3550 lbs with 1/4 tank of gas when I was on stock 225/45/18 tires. The panoramic sunroof on the X1 weighs roughly 130 lbs, which was information that I got from a Bmw genius representative.

Tire size doesn't have much to do with it, besides some added compliance in the sidewall if you're taller (I'm 255/40-18)
That's good to know then. The difference in weight between the 35 and 28 isn't that much, so hopefully the shock and perhaps a bit of bumpstop trim will be enough to get me to a point of no bottoming out.
If you have an s drive, and 19 in wheels, I trust you live in an area with much better roads compared to some of us.  |
