If you want a smooth ride buy a Lexus or a Buick.
OK now that we have taken care of the inevitable response to this post here is my opinion.

There is a lot of room for improvement in the suspension design. The 3 series, particularly with the sport package, leaves a lot of room for improvent when it comes to handling bad surfaces. My wife's Jag XKR Coupe is a lot better at handling poor surfaces and is as fast as my 335i on the twisties. There is a post on this forum that shows that the XKR convertivle was 3 tenths of a second slower around a track than an M3 convertible and faster than a 335i coupe. This says to me that handling and comfort are not mutually exclusive. It would be great if BMW could keep the driving dymanmics but improve the performance on bad road surfacees.
