I'm due to be up in Manchester early Feb. so can potentially let you have a quick drive to compare the ride to the standard setup.
Now that would be appreciated... I'm regretting investing in RFTs with all the issues. TBH I'd love to keep the 296's as I think they look great (esp the diamond cut face, when the sun hits it) but the ride is still tough with the Pirelli replacements. I know I'll lose money if I sell them on (they've only a few thousand miles on the rear and a few hundred on the front) but I'll take that if it makes a difference going to non RFTs. BMW scared me off by telling me changing to non RFTs could invalidate suspension component warranty. I've since spoken to the dealer and he feels differently. ARG.
