I've driven my 316i and my mates 318is, the is obviously has the m-tech suspention but you could feel the antiroll bar quite prominently in the handling characteristics.
I will be finding one for mine once I've completed a few other jobs
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

Top Tip: Take the front one off and it'll be oversteer city.
