I have had, hmmm, 5 e12s and one 630 so far (same suspension). I have always felt the front suspension on the e12s to be bone-jarring on potholes and speed bumps. The speed bumps I am talking about are the 6 foot long, appearing-to-be fairly gentle ones. But, in my e12s, even these residential speed bumps pitch me up out of the seat if I hit them at 25 mph residential speed. (We have powerful lobbies for the neighborhoods of our fine little community... when they want you to slow down, they slow you down)
Anyway, the same potholes and bumps in my 630 are much more palatable. But, that car weighs in about 400 pounds heavier than an e12. I've settled for just getting one of those mouthpieces for TMJ that you wear to bed at night, unless I am going out in the 630.
BTW... this is a serious response to your question. I know I have a penchant for being a bit of a S/A.
