I hated the ride in my wife's e90 from day 1 (and if it wasn't for the e30 we picked up I would still hate BMW to this day) as it was just way too jarring and uncomfortable, yet it didn't have the crisp feel of a performance car to make up for it. Originally I thought the ride issues were the sport seats, but when she had a sidewall blow out she replaced them with PS1s and everything changed for the better. It now has a better steering feel and a much more comfortable ride (though still uncomfortable for trips over an hour or so for me).
Her's is an Xi, so she doesn't have the sport suspension and I could believe that there is a feel difference between the all weather and performance variant.
I have been hearing good reports on the 3rd gen RFTs so I will give them a chance as I drive all over Europe, but I'm still going to be prepared to re-shoe it after it gets home.
