Comfort isn't THE factor but it's a factor. Cars from Chevy and Cadillac all come with the mag ride suspension & they handle all driving modes with perfection. BMW needs to step up & take that aspect of the car to the next level. That's all it's missing. Also if the MSS set up is as good as it seems then at the very least we have a solution.
I know my three potential cars are all so different from one another but there's a part of me that connects with each one in a unique way & after a few test drives I'll figure it out which one suits me best.
I'm coming from an N55 M2 with M performance suspension. It's set on a comfort setting & the ride isn't terrible but it's definitely annoying after 4-5 years.

That's quite a range of cars, I'd first think about what exactly it is your looking for from a car, an SUV is quite a different proposition from a sedan. Most, like me, are looking at the X3m as a more practical m3, certainly for me, it's the only reason to choose the X3m. But, the X3m dies a remarkable job of closing the gap in terms of ability, which leads to a very non-suv like ride, that's perfect fir me me, if I was looking for comfort I'd go m40i. If I didn't need the extra boot space for dogs, I'd never have sold my f80.
