I did not go DHP. the auto-335xi i test drove didnt have it and it looked fine (no huge gap between tire and fender) and it handled great as well. Any handling short comings I'll address with aftermarket parts if I think it's that bad.

Nice, I'm interested to hear how it works out for you. Going without DHP was definitely smart, since you'd throw out the dampers anyways for the complete coilovers.
Just thinking waaaayyyy outside the box, but I wonder if it's possible to install an aftermarket driver controlled center differential like the STI comes with. Maybe you could flick a switch and instantly have RWD?
