Well, I would think that if BMW had a different wheel and tire package
to offer, he might well have done that rather than change vehicles.
I wonder if the size of the brake rotors makes it impossible to use
smaller diameter wheels?

Hardly a BMW issue, but a good point. I have never understood the “rubber band
tire” thing. I figured that it has a major effect on handling, especially at
higher speeds, not to mention the harsher ride.

Speaking of A380s, there was a show on Smithonian channel called "Air
Disasters" which features various airliner/aircraft incidents. Yesterday
they featured a A380 with a crew of 3 that was on auto pilot when the
pilot brought his (9 ur old?) daughter and 15 yr old son into the
cockpit and he f
Nope, not thrust, but weight makes the wake turbulence. Any heavy aircraft,
even gliding with minimal thrust makes massive rolls of air. Always touch
down on landing beyond the touch down point of a "heavy", and always
lift-off before the point the "heavy" lift's off when following one on
take-off.
They probably should have been further apart even if it wasn't a 380

Yes, but the smaller plane was no Piper Cub. It was a twin engine jet.
The air traffic controllers need to keep these things separated by more air.
There was only a thousand vertical feet between them when the A380
passed overhead.
