Honestly, I personally think it is good to have and not must have... as mentioned, unless you always have sleeping babies in cars, else who will intentionally close the door more gently just to have the soft closing to do its part? Must people are used to getting out and slamming the door with a bit more strength...

Re: My F30 Mod today
Replicas are usually ok, however I've seen some wobble quite abit in high speeds, prob due to their manufacturing process and its hard to balance the wheels properly. Even some so-called branded names but made in China have this problem as well.
I would readily go for proper cast rims from BBS, or forged wheels instead. Save on wheels yes, but solving problems time, idiotic.
