IMO if the wife is driving just make sure she keeps everything in comfort mode and does not press the DSC button. Other wise it's just an ordinary 5 series which anyone can drive. The wife drives my M5 and she says that the X5 and M5 feel that same so long as you don't floor it. Only if you start playing with buttons and mash the pedal do you start to have a handful.

If you're looking for comfort then the 7 series is your option. The M5 does have stiffer suspension that the ordinary 5 series however I wouldn't call it bone-jarring. In fact if you just leave in comfort mode it is comfortable, more so than you would expect. However the Competition pack does have stiffer suspension. Can't comment upon it though as I don't have it.
