I'd agree with BQ then, smaller wheels and bigger tyres will do wonders for comfort. Going for a softer sidewall non-UHP tyre will be a nicer ride, but it's hard to find reviews that focus on comfort, everything is performance or "eco", but I was impressed with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assimetrico 5 when I had those.

They don't look like they come in 16s though so maybe the Kumho Ecsta HS52?

I’m already running 16s -Goodyear efficientgrip performance 2 or something, and I bought them as a fresh set to replace the mixed bag they came with, so unlikely to replace. And they do seem decent tbh. I do actually have a set of e36 15s in the shed, but they’re destined for the e39 banger with grass track tyres on.

Got to agree with BQ there again, if you're already running small wheels with big sidewalls, then new OEM dampers, springs, and bushes will do wonders.

Bilstein B4/B6 dampers will also be a really good option with OEM or Eibach springs (with OEM spring rate).
