    335xi -watch your tire pressure

    Picked up our '15 335xi CPO a few weeks ago and loving it/

    But it wasn't feeling like a BMW should, not like my 07 328. I'd heard that BMWs were getting softer so I didn't worry.

    Checked the tire pressure and was 35lbs all around, door jam and manual said 32F/38R.(dealer Tech error I guess)

    Made the changes and she's on rails again.

    Its Fascinating how sensitive these cars are to tire pressures.

    Not such a big deal on the Crown Vic I had.

    Partly, it's the RFT's that are extremely sensitive to air pressure. Partly the low-profile tires.
