BMW X3 - which wheel size is best for ride comfort ?
I'm thinking of buying a 12 month old BMW X3. However, I've noticed that lots of the cars have 19-inch wheels. Is this a no-no when it comes to ride quality? I've driven an SE with standard 17-inch wheels and that was great.

On an X3 the 19" wheels come with either 45 profile front / 40 rear or 45 profile all round. 45 all round is better. But I'd avoid anything with less then 50 so avoid 19" or 20" wheels on an X3.

Handling is impressive for an SUV, large boot capacity and lots of rear-seat space, top engine choices deliver serious performance.
