Ok, not gonna be the smoothest ride but you can either take it to be checked out or, drive a similar car for comparison. Does it have the s line suspension or the sports?

Sports suspension/shock absorption

Was it like this when you first got it or is it something that just happened/developed over the 2 months?
It could be tyre pressure, have you checked this? The tyre pressure monitor is designed to monitor speed differences between the wheels and if they all lose air at the same rate it will never find it. Had this on my pre, all 4 was down to about 25psi.

Check the tyre pressures and then if it still bad take it back to the dealers.
I have the sport suspension on the 19 inch wheels and it's fairly comfortable.
Had a black edition on loan and it was less comfortable than my previous 18s and 19s but it wasn't as bad as you described. On smooth roads it was pretty good but a bit trashy on crappy roads that's why I went for the 19s. Road near me is very crap.

Sport with 18's is about as 'direct' as I can handle, ta very much.

I have sports suspension with 20s and it's not like that at all. Compared to my C6 (sports on 19s) it's a magic carpet.
