My W126 was pretty flexable and stiff, it kind of felt like the CLK550 cab I had my hands on for a few months a couple years back. Although the cab was far more nimble and you could corner at speeds that would leave the W126 plowing into the ditch.
I have driven a lot of Mercedes and my favorite as far as ride is still the W140. Mercedes got it right with that car, even with big wheels and little tires they still ride awsome. My friends S600 with 18in AMG's is the best riding car I have ever been in, better than a Rolls Royce of the same year we took for a spin thats for sure.
BMW's suck, one of my uncles has a bunch and they all suck. The X5 was stiff(rode a lot like my SDL), the Z4 was stiff as hell, the 535XI sucks. I don't like any of them.

The W140 is the one Mercedes I have never ridden in or driven.
BTW Hattie. OT: I thought about you when I was in Ft Lauderdale visiting my son a month ago. He took me on a tour of the 85' Hatteras that his girlfriend is a stewardess on. Nice boat. The engine room was way bigger than on the 118 ft yacht that he had worked on previously. They took me for a ride on the 40 ft tender. He basically scared the $hit out of me when at one point he was going full throttle toward a umpteen hundred foot cargo ship.
