What century are you guys in?
Air suspension. Control the ride. Soft for the bad roads, and then lower it to the dynamic setting for good handling. Not acceptable or reasonable, but good. My previous car was a BMW 3-series and I'm not complaining!
My Land-Rover is almost 30 years old, but infinitely repairable, so will probably outlast your BMW, but perhaps lacks some of the refinements of a modern car.
Bit like quartz being more accurate, but less loveable.......
