I would say that many people might be tempted... like me. :smile:
I am not your average performance-car aficionado... I am a girl, in my 30s and I would not have thought of owning a BMW till now... I don't particularly want a luxury car, just a small car that drives well. Before I could only think of maybe a GLI or GTI, now I can finally add BMW to that list. I think others like would be tempted with a "bare bones" 128, which already has more niceties than I would imagine getting otherwise... but you probably won't find them roaming around these types of forums... |

As far as rotation is concerned, you'll probably wear out 2 sets of rear tires to every one pair of fronts, so just replace as necessary. And watch out for our DC area potholes! Tom K. |

I hope I won't start getting more flats tho, our roads are a definite mess... plus I go to Baltimore often and it's almost worse, if there is such a thing... |

I don't see you getting more flats - but be aware that 17" and larger wheels are more prone to road damage. I had 3 of the 4 wheels on my '99 sedan bent within 2 years commuting through Takoma Park & northeast on New Hampshire Ave. - although the wheels are still usable. And my wife replaces at least one wheel every other year on her Saab, due to our wonderful roads! And in Baltimore - you're on your own! Tom |

I would gladly stay with 16" wheels but then I wouldn't get the other benefits of the SP! |
