F10 M5 CP vs E60 M5 ride comfort

So as title says I am really interested to know how the are compared, which one is more comfortable and which one is more stiffer. Reason I am interested is that I know the ride of the E60 M5 and I am willing to buy F10 M5 and really like the Comp Pack, but I am really bothered with ride comfort. Our roads are crap and I like more comfort ride.

Appreciate your comments
Thanks

People are away for the long weekend. Give it another day or two. You should get some feedbacks.

You already know how the E60 M5 rides, right? If so, best way to explain the F10 M5's ride is that it's much more comfortable. The F10 M5's ride difference from comfort to sport+ is huge, versus the E60 M5's ride difference from 0 lights on the EDC to 2 lights on the EDC button.

The F10 M5 feels very similar to a 7 series in comfort. In sport plus it drives like an M car (similar to E60 M5 but still more comfortable).

The E60 M5 is a sporty car at heart. The F10 M5 is a comfort and luxurious car at heart, and can be modified (servotronic, edc, throttle) to drive sporty.

You need to test drive the F10 M5 for yourself.

CP is much stiffer than the regular. For many it's still okay. I suggest you take a test drive.

I have regular suspension with Dinan Anti Roll bars and I find this gives the best balance of flat handling with good ride quality.

The CP set to Sport Plus is a bit harsh, but the seats (multi contour) are so comfortable that they take up all the abuse. I love it. The reason I got rid of my X5M was that the ride was hell and all the bumps were magnified by the crap (standard) seats.

Would you compare the cp f10 ride in sport+ to the e92 cp in edc sp+(2 lights)??

So which one is stiffer and less comfortable? Your previous E60 M5 or your new beast?

I would love to test drive one before buying, but here in my country there is no chance to test drive any vehicle from the dealers.
