True. The bottom line is not to end up like my Z3 on M suspension which activates so much noise from the passenger chair
My experience being on my friend's M3 in Japan was actually I did not find any disturbing noise from his M3 except I could really feel the suspension is rock hard.
And then, my other experience on my very light MR-S was that even had hard suspension but I did not 'feel' the MR-S is as bumpy as the Z3. In other words, it could be all about good matching of the three : car,suspension, wheels and the tires. The MR-S was with 16" wheels and 205 tires. The damn Z3 is with 17' wheels and F 225 R 245 tires!
I am still expecting the C55 is overall to be a lot more 'quiet' than the M3 in all aspects. And, have I thought about slow down my car on bumpy roads ? I could not do that with my E320 , so how can I be so sensible with the C55. By the time I get my C55 on the road, I probably don't care the world anymore except I am hearing only the musical V8 engine

If you're not happy with the ride you can, obviously, upgrade your springs...but of course, the $%@#^#*@ new HK tax on assessories will mean you might have to wait six months (unless you want to pay double or if done by non-ZF shops) and if you care about the damn ZF warranty policy, that would mean you'll have to wait at least 3 years
