I was a little disappointed as the ride was harsh on our rough New Zealand roads. It's not BMW's fault but I'll stay with my 116i M Sport and 220i M Sport.
How can it be so? Do you mean you choose the "sporty granny" regular suspension M Sport? I really don't think M135i suspension differs much from the M Sport suspension.

This could give an unusual meaning to the "stop start" disabling request: some hate the "stop", others - the "start"!

It's not particularly nice towards the other people who might need and even own the car. I like the New Zealand notion of a "month" though. "Flying high" could be a solution: Police Drive By.
