All of My BMWs with sport suspension from the 1998 E36 M3 on did.

You want it to bottom out...?

Took a test drive in a BMW 3-series wagon. Ran over a wide, mild speed bump at under 10 MPH and it crashed onto the bump stops. My A3 could take the same bump at 15 with no drama. (Haven't tried it on the S5 yet.. )

Perhaps it's a better car!

Try driving it off a cliff.

Bounce and pitch dynamics is a difficult field - and there are static variables such as wheelbase, overhang and ground clearance involved. But I was thinking that Audi might be doing something specific with the adaptive suspension to control bottoming out.

Drive faster over the speed bumps

Just tried it on the S5. 20 MPH, no problem, while the BMW in front of me crawled over the same bump at about 5.

Anti-Gravity device is part of the S package ;-P

A lot of factors could go into this. Suspension set-up, stiffness, height, etc etc.
