Video:Comp to Non-Comp W/Interesting Conclusion
Maybe this has been posted previously, but for those never having viewed it, I think it provides a fair and unbiased comparison between the two models. It's not about one car being better in everything, but the reviewer describes the differences, so prospective buyers can decide which driving characteristics or aesthetics speak to them.

I will definitely watch this, yet having just purchased the “base” M5, I do long for the competition badge. I’ve never bought a base car before, especially one that cost 111k, though I paid considerably less.
I have heard in comparisons the Comp model rides quite a bit harsher. For that reason alone I’m glad I didn’t get it. |

I was originally after a non-comp model mainly due to the ride issue. I don't like calling it base as there's nothing basic about it! But the boy racer in me did like the slightly more aggressive looks of the comp! Anyway, I ended up with a comp and have to say, after 12k miles my view is the ride is absolutely great on motorways and even lumpy A and B roads (smaller roads in UK), in comfort setting. Its only only badly cut up roads with sharp ridges that causes harshness at slower speeds that shows up the stiffer setup. My Mrs who is pregnant did not like sitting in the back, said it's particularly harsh, but doesn't mind being in the front. But it's still not exactly unusable, the slight banging and jiggling on those roads is just a reminder that you're driving something with over 600hp ;-)

This is a very good video. I have the Comp model and when you put all the settings in the softest mode it feels just as comfortable as the base model.
