Alloys 343m vs 345m ?

MickyV8 · 10-19-2016, 06:39 PM

Hi All,
Joined recently as I have been looking for an M5 to buy here in UK.
Has any one driven on both the 343m and 345m alloys ? I really like the look of the 343's as they are bigger and nicer but wanted to know if they make the ride less comfortable and by how much?

Thanks

The ride is perfect with 20's. A spare set of 19's for go, and 21's for show would be the ultimate combo. lol

After a year on UK roads, 20' 343m's have been very comfortable - with the exception of the nasty concrete section on the M25, between the A3 & M23 - but I am v careful to drive around and not through pot holes & drive very slowly over traffic calming "humps".

Thanks for the comments, Have any of you compared your ones to the 19" 343m's?
