Sway bars would be nice, but I'm not going to drop the engine to do that. This should hold be over till LCI.
Glad you got your issues fixed!

In light of this conclusion, I cannot WAIT to get non-RFTs on my car. Just waiting for 4/32 to happen ... maybe even 5/32.

I really like the MPSS I put on the car but with the xdrive not THP I still feel the car rides to high and soft.

I will say that my turn-in is slower, but considering the stiffness of the sidewalls on the RFT's, well it's not surprising. I'm honestly sorry I waited as long as I did, but like you I wanted to burn up what I already had. It was fun lighting them off at will and not worrying about the tread!

I'd hate for you to bottom out, or have the sidewall rub something hard and metal at full lock ...
M4 LCAs don't push wheel that far forward.

More like 12-15mm at most or at least that's what they did on my car.

Fitting M4 tension struts [TS's] with LCA's helps keep wheel more central - as per white M235i in the photo below fitted with both LCA and TS.
