. . I can get a non-zsp 328i Coupe and it comes standard with the sport tuned suspension, and the sport steering wheel. The only things I wouldn't be getting are the sport seats, and different sized wheels on 18 inch rims. I could always order 18" rims I believe.

I'm 49 years old and don't even know if the sports seats would make that much difference to me. Any old folks like me want to lend me some input?

Thanks.

I'm 70 and I love the sport seats. They give a lot more lateral support. And the side bolsters are adjustable. If you really want the 18" wheels for better handling then I think you'd want the sport seats. But the only way you'll know what works for you is to try both.

Most people find the sports seats more comfortable - head to a dealership and decide for yourself! And the price of the package is probably less than some quality aftermarket 18" rims and tires.

I find the sports seats great. I am not a big guy. 5' 7" 150 lbs. I run 3 to 5 miles to exercise everyday. I can adjust the seats to fit me, only complaint is a little more lumbar support. Also found the seat extension beneficial on long trips.

Ok everyone, thanks. One more thing if I may, though the zsp has different size tires front/back, are the wheels the exact same size and could I go with the same tire size all the way around at a later time if I wanted? Are the rims the exact same size?

Thanks again.

No they aren't. The rears are wider (as they should be for the wider tires).

Get the sports seats. I'm 65 and my fellow driver is too and we love them. I had a loaner with regular seats -- no comparison.

Nothing preventing you from getting the same size tires/wheels all around. It's usually the front wheels that you may have a problem fitting. The wider rear tires are just for performance reasons.

Not getting the sports seats is just short changing yourself so much.

agree. go for the sports seats!!
