Agree with what you are saying for the standard suspension, good blend but an odd low speed sensation. I wrote this comment in my review of the F30 328i I tested.

I took the car into a busy car park (Garden Centre) to try congested areas and some speed bumps. The car goes over the speed bumps in the strangest way, hard to describe, but seems far too bouncy for the ride and control you get out on the road. I’m sure this is the ‘odd ball’ from how BMW have tuned the suspension in such a fine way, for a blend of comfort and decent control.
