Those who also tested BMW M340/M3/X40/X3M suspensions ... how do they compare?

I'm considering something in the range of M340/M3/X40/X3M for my next car after the i30N, so I'm wondering if anyone spent any seat time in any of those, where on the stiffness and comfort ladder do you rank their suspensions (M adaptive) to the comfort and N mode of the i30N suspension?

For reference, I'm quite ok with the comfort setting of the i30N Fastback PFL for daily use. Sure it could be softer over speed bumps but it's pretty ok, and it's perfectly comfortable for me on the autobahn. I had previously a F56 Mini Cooper S and that one was equally stiff but more harsh over bumps and rough pavement. I drove a M2 some years ago and found it equally uncomfortably stiff.

Basically I'm wondering if M340/X40 are softer than the i30N or about the same? I would assume they are softer ...
