I came from a 335i with Bridgestone RE050A RFTs. Now those were pretty harsh. Sporty, but harsh. The tires on my 535i have a *much* improved ride quality. And I think they still grip just fine in the corners.
The 535i that I tested also had 19" Goodyear Excellence tires and the car rode very well over uneven and broken pavement. Like you, I had a previous 335i with the harsh riding Bridgestones. No question that RFTs have improved considerably over the past four years since BMW started equipping cars with these tires.
