As a bonus, the V8's ride quality, with the softer suspension, is much more composed
over sharper impacts.
The solid - axle rear suspension
cushions sharp impacts well and is resistant to large floating and bouncing motions, though competitors equipped with independent rear suspensions are still better overall.
Ligaments are not activated in normal joint movement, it is the job of surrounding tendons and muscles to stabilize the joints, with ligaments only activated in extreme circumstances (such as knee twisting, etc.)
Sudden sharp impacts or changes in force may also overwhelm the surrounding muscle's ability to tighten and stabilize the joint, which requires the ligaments to intervene.

There was very
slightly sharper impact harshness felt in the 120i, no doubt due to the different wheel and tyre combination 45 - series tyres on 17 - inch rims for the 120i, versus 55 - series tyres on 16 - inch rims for the 118i.
