How comfortable is the ride compared with an e46 330i?
Hello all, I like the thought of owning a c63, but I'm not sure I'd like the ride. I used to own a 2004 330i with sport suspension. It handled great and had a great ride on smooth roads, but I found it too harsh in the city, with our frost heaves and pot-holes.
Can anyone with experience in both provide a comparison?
thanks!

I owned both a 2001 330i and a 2004 330i w/PP. The C63 without the PP is very similar to the ride of a 330i (maybe a tiny bit stiffer but not much) and definitely smoother than the 330i pp. My wife even commented that the C63 was smoother than my 2004 330i PP. Hope that helps.
The fun you will have with the vastly increased horsepower will make you forget how the car rides.

Umm this is a pretty pointless question that is based entirely on opinion, what makes you think a used CL would suit you better based on those comments above???
Test-drive one and see for yourself...
Don’t forget the suspension is different with and without the Performance Package!

I guess your looking for a softer ride, but a CL? Totally different cars, characteristics, a C63 without the PP is stiff, a C63 with a PP is definetely stiffer, I beleive they claim about 10% stiffer, but it might be more.
