invidia was supposed to be making an AWD specific application, but we have not heard anything in quite a while. the f-sport sways will tighten up the suspension, increasing handling and road feel.

switch to Tein CST coilovers and get the sway bars. You will see a nice improvement in handling. Unfortunately you can get to where a stock bimmer feels

No hope for the 300s. Sell it and buy an ISF.
