100% Agree. BMW has a big ride and handling issue going on. The balance isn't there. M is not an excuse for a harsh ride, and you can have a good ride quality while still having a stiff chassis with great handling. These aren't weekend roadsters they're daily drivers, especially the M SUV's which will be seeing the car pool lane at school more than a track and will be hauling around families and pets. MB has a similar issue with ride quality, but as of late has listened to customers complaints and is addressing the ride issues on current and future vehicles. Porsche on the other hand can make an SUV that not only handles but rides better too, so its possible to have a comfortable and fun SUV, it just seems like BMW can't figure it out.
