My question is… since the G60 comes with non-RFT do you think M Sport might be a little softer and non M Sport just too soft and floaty?
In Boston, the G30 standard 704 sport suspension is good but I can see where you'd think it's stiff given the road conditions. I live on the north shore so experience this during the summer. When I switched the OEM Pirelli P7 RFTs for Michelin PS A/S3 non-runflats the ride quality instantly improved. I didn't want EDC after the F30 I had with it which was floaty in comfort and slightly stiff in sport.

edit... don't remember press release discussing damper technology used in the G60, but with the G20 3er they use something like 2-stage dampers that allow more compression early for smooth ride then stiffen up under additional pressure to improve handling. The G60 may be making use of similar dampers.
