I liked my e61 (sport version) but it wasn't super comfy, for a premium car, my outback is a lot better put together and premium. I did do 1000km drives without complaint though. Will drive a lot tighter than a V70. Went like stink and cruised very happily at continental speeds.
Interesting. I'm coming from an Outback (2001 H6 3.0) so your experience is especially helpful. My main conundrum with the E61 is do you go M sport? They look nice but don't want to have a crashy ride.
Don't go msport then, it is a crashy ride, but it does handle well. But my outback handles like a boat. I do miss the e61, it was better for long drives than the outback. I should probably refresh the suspension on mine but €€
