Not the tyres. Car just has larger turning radius than one would think a car of this size will have.

When I first got the car with stock rims and tyres, could do a neat u-turn.
Now just feel clumsy.. But there is a trade off for everything. Looking nice comes with a price.
Golilok, u r right! Now feels more stable and more confidence in turning at a little bit more speed

I will buy Alpina B5 because it is build with > 300km/h in mind.
"Now feels more stable and more confidence in turning at a little bit more speed" is juz all in the mind lah. Even in puny 16" wheel, i could still cup corner confidently. Like someone in this forum said before, it is how good the locksmith is.
High speed is always about AERODYNAMIC rather than how wide is your tyre. Due to aerodynamic inefficiency, your car could be floating & how wide is your tyre also no use.golilok;900677 said:

Logically, turning radius no change, how could it be clumsy unless bo lat to turn steering wheel?Shev;901261 said:

I struggle with E39 (which is about the size of F30) to cut through traffic.
It has nothing to do with skill. F10 is juz too big for our road to cut thru traffic. This is an Autobahn cruiser to be driven comfortably > 150km/h.Shev;901295 said:

Talking abt cutting thru traffic.
ECP 3 lanes towards Changi Airport. I was on middle lane and on the right fast lane was a white M-kitted 740i. We were going at 140-150km/hr trying to chiet each other like we da gangsta until a red Chevy Epica taxi zoomed past us effortlessly and disappeared at the next bend.
Both of us simultaneously slowed down and drove like how a BMW shd be driven..luxuriously and cruising in our UDM, whistling away like nothing happened...
