People underestimate the impact of sidewall on harshness- and they confuse a harsh ride for 'performance'.

Plus did not realize they are shipping the 2012 Diesel out of the US.
he never said performance - it could very well be for aesthetics alone. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with compromising like that. You always talk about practicality yet you buy BMWs.

At any rate, I honestly don't feel the "sport suspension" changes much whether on or off. It's the wheels/tires, and the fact that the vehicle is stiff to begin with.
