So you are saying the E90/92 is known for longer suspension travel? I assume it's relative in the small sedan/coupe class. In my experience the travel is very minimum indeed.

No, I'm saying that ALL BMWs are known for their long suspension travel. That's why/how they can build cars with good handling (with the SP or otherwise) and still provide a ride that doesn't knock the fillings out of your teeth. Best Regards,

I'm surprised the BMW might be so limited in travel.Does anyone know what the __actual__ amount of suspension travel is in either the Audi or BMW, and do they use hydraulic bushings (like VW and some GM cars) to help damp harshness?

I do not know specifics. I assumed, in error, the BMW suspension in my 330xi was not as long as others. The suspension travel "feels" shorter over large bumps. Shipo straightened me out!
I personally never shop a car according to suspension travel stats (if there are any listed anywhere). I learn something new every day!
