Hello, and excuse my bad English.

It?s my third 5-serie and I must say that it?s a lovely car but I?m a little dissapointed with the comfort regarding to what I think called springs or spring system in english, it?s so hard.

Anyone else feels the same?

My Ride: 535d Sport (M sport steering, M sport sills, M sport suspension, 18inch M style wheels) Carbon black, black nasca, dark wood, dechromed, folding mirrors, extended lights, sun protect glazing, grad tinted winscreen, servotronic steering, heated, ventilated active comfort seats, extended voice control, hi-fi speakers, hud, active cruise, split folding rear seats, rear electric blind, rear manual blinds visbility pack (xenons, adaptive headlights), media pack (6 CD, prof nav, bluetooth with telematics and assist)

If you mean the suspension, I think I agree - I have a sport over a previous SE, and it certainly firmer and more fidgity on the road... and I would imagine the runflats and lower profile tyres don't help. But I suppose its the price you pay for amazing handling.

My Ride: 535 D - to be delivered end Feb 2005 - color E08 - comfort seats - executive leather balck - 122 wheels - dynamic drive - active steering - pack luxe - tecnology pack - moon roof - 6CD player - hifi system - spare wheel - BT phone

I agree with you both but I suspect this is mostly due to runflats and also very high pressure recomended for the tyre. Use the lowest and you will improve it a little.
