If anybody has installed the performance suspension on a car with adaptive dampers, I'd love to hear their experiences. Opinions on the kit are otherwise very positive
I'm sure the reason you mentioned (having to code out/use a delete kit) is the reason why BMW says the M-Perf suspension isn't compatible. It physically fits in RWD cars.

Depends on how you want to address body roll. With sway bars you can use OE type springs/dampers. If you don't want to use sway bars, and use higher spring rates instead, the stiffness you'll need will push you to coilovers or custom tuned dampers territory and is more difficult to avoid harshness.
