What Tyre Pressures??
Evening.
We have a 118d shadow edition with the 18" rims, what tyre pressures do people recommend? Cheers Virge

There must be something wrong with it! Mine, I recall, says 2.0 bar front and 2.2 bar rear (more for heavy load). But I have 17" rims and a bigger (heavier?) N13 engine. I would trust the manufacturer: why did you buy their car otherwise? You don't suspect a tampered label, do you? Consult a dealer (check their stock cars) then.

Our 116i was 1290 kg, and our LCI 118i is 1305 kg, according to the registration papers. Must be the big brakes! :-) It is also longer. 433 vs 432 cm. |

So it looks all right heavier front end (engine) requires higher pressure (just like a heavily loaded read end) and so do lower profile (bigger rim) tyres (they allow less deflection, obviously). |

Was it? I remember mine is officially 1340 kg. Or something: the source of truth says it's 1370 kg (and yours must have been 1365 kg).

I must keep slim to qualify. I checked my registration certificate and it says the same: 1370 kg. You claim your registration papers say LCI 118i is 1305 kg: they expect you to drop 60 kg off!

My registration file online (not a paper) is stating the weight of the car both with and without driver. 1380 and 1305 kg. I just have to shed 3 kg to comply! :-)
