I agree with you. I'm a complete DHP believer now... may become the DHP spokesperson if they allow me. It just feels night and day over the standard suspension. I couldn't consider the M Sport suspension due to my desire for an xDrive car (not available), but my previous 335i had a sport suspension, so I have a decent idea what I'm "missing" with a passive sport setup. I really believe DHP is superior than anything passive. The adjustable dampers can be written off by passive sport suspension proponents as a creature comfort (since the M Sport suspension is quite good as far as suspensions go), but the active anti-roll is another thing altogether and can't be matched with anything passive. In a corner it really shines!
