New c200 AMG line

Hi I need some advice. I am intending to purchase c200 Amg line with premium plus package. I am told that the suspension is low and hence may give a bumpy rid.
My question is should I go for air attic suspension? Is the extra money worth spending? I will be using my car for social and leisure driving- mixture of both motorway, country road and town driving.
I was intending to get driver assist. Should I dump driver assist and get the air magic sue soon instead.
Any suggestion?

W205 250cdi 4matic, amg ext/int, 485 suspension
check ground to fender and ride height of my c300 RWD threads to see if look of the car is fine with you when comfort suspension is used ...

if not, I would advice for airmatic as sport suspension seems to be too harsh for most of the people here. height of the car seems to not be an issue even with sport suspension ...

Rbajoria, it would be helpful if you indicated where you live, because the spec of cars, even with similar options names if different around the world.

My UK C220 AMG with premium plus has the non-airmatic suspension which is lowered 30mm from the base SE model, and 15mm lower than the 'Sport' model. The actual quality of the suspension is fine, but the run-flat tyres ruin the ride. They're noisy and 'crash' over bumps. If it wasn't a company lease car I'd replace them with normal tyres immediately.
