It’s my wife’s daily and we both don’t mind the ride but it’s not subtle and by far the most jarring of any M I’ve owned. Still fun to drive and I actually preferred it over my recently departed X5M because it was more engaging.
It will always be much more engaging then the heavy X5 M & a proper set of lowering springs eliminates 80-90% of the bounciness you're speaking about over large bumps at high speeds. A bumpy ride & a harsh ride are two different things.
