Which tyres should I fit to my BMW 330d for better comfort?

I have a 2006 BMW 330d with runflat tyres on 17-inch wheels. I need to replace the tyres and I want to put on non-runflats. I am looking for comfort, not speed. What would you recommend?

I don't recommend you to switch from runflats, but currently the best seem to be the latest Dunlops. A decent ride, even on 18-inch wheels.
