I'm glad BMW is making its sporty cars more comfortable, too. My 135i with sports suspension is a lot of fun but even after getting rid of the runflats, it still has a terrible ride.
Two of my friends have W204 C classes (one luxury and one sport) and I'm really jealous of how comfortable they are for long drives. My daily commute is ~30 miles in each direction on the freeway and usually in moderate traffic.
I could never live with a W204, it's comfy but way too boring, so it looks like the F30 strikes up a very interesting compromise.
I disagree on the W203 vs W204 comment, though, I thought the later W203 sport sedans were a lot more fun to drive than either W204 but no generation of C class has been able to meet the benchmark set by the 3 series IMO.
