When you stop at traffic lights, put the handbrake on and take your foot off the footbrake - that way you don't blind the driver behind you.

Seeing you have that setup and lowered suspension, I'm pretty sure the M should not have any problems with a similar configuration. Do you experience any tramlining with such wide rims?

The 1 series are great commuter cars and have a decent capacity when you need to transport something big.
I lease a 116 beside my Z, and I use the 116 most days for work. That arrangement is working great. As an added plus the 1 series looks good as well (but not as great as my Z :P )
