URGENT question: 2012 c63 p31 and ride comfort

Is there a difference btwn 2012 c63 ride comfort in a p31 car vs one without the development/performance package?

I ask because I don't know if I can wait the 3 months it would take to deliver a c63 from scratch to meet my specifications, with no p31 package.

However, if I included cars with the p31 package, I might be able to locate a car within the US that has already been built.

The main reason why I have not wanted a car with the p31 package is that I am worried about a harsher ride.

Please let me know your thoughts, I want to buy the c63 today as I can't sleep well anymore thinking about waiting 3 more months to get a car delivered.

Does the 2012 c63 with the p31 package have a harsher ride than a car without the p31 package?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Yes
Dont think there is, at least from my butt's perspective.

Now 2009 P30 versus 2012 P31, absolutely a difference, the 2012 is MUCH smoother. I wouldnt sweat it, get the P31.

Ride is pretty much the same. I think there is a slightly longer wheelbase with the sedan though.

With the first version of the P30 on the pre-facelift there was, but due to customer complaints they took that away from it. So no, no difference.

Correction to my above post. The wheelbase is the same and the suspension is the same, so the ride should be about the same. The coupe is a tad shorter in length , and a full 2 inches shorter in height.
