5 series has a much more refined suspension. 3 series doesn't even come close. Wheel size and tires do make a big difference though.
kinimod: ride quality is apples to apples on any car. Ride quality is ride quality. If a 328i rides more absorbent and refined over bad pavement than a 535i M-Sport and feels more comfortable, It is what it is. LOL. It's obvious the 5's M-Sport suspension is not "MORE" refined if it is crashing and upsetting passengers more in the 535i M-Sport and they're not complaining about it in a 328i loaner.
