It's the exact opposite of a rolly polly SUV.

Unless you're coming from a 1990 lexus or a Rolls Royce, I do not know what you are talking about. This car definitely has body roll, more so than my RWD 435i and WAY more so than my previous c63 and my current M3.

Also, it skips off bumps because of the RunFlat tires not because of the stiffness, lol.

My C450 proved itself on the backroads of Upstate NY on my way to Mohonk.

Unless you're coming out of a Nissan GTR, I don't see how you think the C450 can't handle.

I run go-flat AS3+ for 3 months of the year. The skipping is not from the tires. All cars exhibit some roll if they actually have a articulating suspension. Because...physics. The claim that the 450/43 handles like an SUV is plain hyperbole pure and simple.

Plenty of us have owned and driven the 435 as well:/
