A Brand in Turmoil and desperate to preserve their identity (or find it) 2008 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member2702 A little firm perhaps but remarkably supple for a car that can carve corners like this one can. That has always been the magic of BMW, blending a comfortable ride with handling and road composure that set the standard. |

Best driver's car in the entry level luxury segment 2010 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member6338 ride could be better. So could the noise intrusion into the cabin. |

2015 Volvo V60 T5 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The roads of North Carolina are far smoother than those of Michigan. Even so, I was surprised by the firmness of the Volvo V60's ride. BMW is hardly known for cushy suspension tuning, but even the 328i takes the edge off bumps better. If you live where the roads are... Comparison vehicle: 2014 BMW 3-Series |

2014 BMW 328d Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Even when fitted with a sport suspension (highly recommended for the body control benefits noted earlier) the BMW 328d doesn't ride badly, only getting a little bumpy on the badly frost-heaved roads of post-polar vortex metro Detroit. It's not clear that the adaptive dampers in the Dynamic Handling Package help... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class |

The E46 3-Series: A Love-Hate Relationship 2002 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member2416 The E46 has about the perfect balance between ride quality and handling. The ride is firm but not so firm that long trips are approached with a sense of dread. |

2011 Cadillac CTS-V wagon Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Okay, the CTS-V doesn't quite ride like a...Cadillac. But given the V's extreme performance it rides surprisingly well: firmly, but rarely harshly, and definitely viable as a daily driver (if one can afford a lot of gas). Quick-reacting adaptive shocks deserve some of the credit, perhaps even much of it. Comparison vehicle: 2008 BMW 3-Series |

2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member4555 I hate run-flat tires. They ride hard and are noisy. There's no place for a spare, but I'm thinking about adding a repair kit and going to standard tires. |

2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member711 Ride on uneven roads is not smooth. Trade off for the excellent handling. |

2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons A member in Massachusetts, United States Handles most road irregularities well: almost never jars occupants, regardless of road conditions. Handles speed on interstates very well. |

Why not purchase 2006 BMW 330xi 2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member4724 The ride is stiff. Long driving gives back aches. |
|
2009 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member4596 Regular 3-series comes with run-flat tires. Run-flat are awful over anything other than mirror-smooth surface. M3 came with summer tires; as a result, this ubersedan rides smoother than a regular 3er. |

2008 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member255 Smooth enough to insulate against harsh environmental/road conditions and keep cabin quiet. Not so insulated as to remove driver from road. Still exceptionally sportive with satisfying road feedback and steering and suspension firmness (w/ sport package). |

2010 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons A member in Georgia, United States Unusual ability to maintain high performance without a harsh ride. This car is just as capable as a 370Z, but 200% more refined. My tester had the M-Sport package. |
