Is this normal Handling Q

The car handles good BUT when in a turn and smallest pothole or bump the car hops. scary

is it the run flat tires? or is this normal. I know I can't have this. any suspension changes needed?
TIA

Its normal for the R56/55/57. I believe that changing the bushings helps. Check out the suspension forum for more information on how to control this problem.

Check your tire pressure. My car did this and it improved after I adjusted the tire pressures (the dealer delivered the car with 50psi in all 4 tires). Replacing runflats with non-RFs will help also.
