Actually the threads on this subject provide a difference of opinion, albeit smaller on the side of keeping RFT, but there are a few. The consensus of those who favor RFT agree that suspension modification is required for non-RFT. If you think about it, I find it hard to believe that BMW has no spent time tuning the suspension on RFT, so to me it makes sense. Those in this camp find switching to non-RFT resulted in a softer, less compliant ride and some even switched back to RFT.
Personally, I don't think the ride is harsh on RFT, and have gotten compliments on the ride of the car, but where I live the roads are apparently in better shape than say in the NE, so maybe that's the difference.
