As I said, it's been happening since I bought the car 8 years ago with only 9000 miles on it, and it did it on 19" CSLs (with 265/35r19 rear PS2s) or 18" 224s (with 255/40r18 rear OE Conti M3s or PS2s).

It's never had a cracked spring, although I did preventatively replace them at 100k, and it still did it. Then replaced the OE suspension with Bilstein B16/PSS10. Still does it although I now put it down to having 265/40r18 rears instead of 255/40r18.

I'll have to see what it's like once I have it back, as it had most of the rear end replaced (diff, trailing arms, drive shafts, etc.), and I've been using the Alfa instead. Probably won't use it in anger again until our next Ring trip (April).

265/40-19 are indeed huge wheels.
Try 265/35-19 like me, a lot smaller diameter as result.
Also the closest to OEM Z4M wheels size you can get with 265 width on 19". Only 1% off.
