I'm sure there is something wrong with mine

Basically no matter what setting it's in comfort sport or sport + the ride seems exactly the same harsh and firm

I have no idea if it's all down to the 20's and runflats but it's not comfortable and makes the interior rattle on anything other than smooth tarmac I have had it in and the found an issue with one of the suspension control units that they replaced

I've only ever driven a std damper car and mine with the air setup

If I'm honest it feels like our old f56 jcw did and I don't think an e class should

It'll be the runflat 20's.

I have a 212 that was pillowy on the 17's it came on. I stuck 18's on and it's noticeably harsher. On a 212 I wouldn't go any bigger for that reason.

Mine is an AMG Line s213 on 19" wheels, Air Body Control.

The ride is superb, floats along the motorway in Comfort but needs to be changed to Sport or Sport+ for a spirited A/B road drive, as Comfort allows the body to move around too much when pressing on.

I don't mind flicking between modes as desired although it could be seen as a negative that one mode doesn't "do it all".
