However with/without DHP, you would swear that they were different cars.

If you have the MAdaptive suspension, but not the ARS, you can stiffen (sport) or soften (comfort) your suspension, but the system won't actively attempt to prevent body roll. However, you will get less in sport because its not bouncy like comfort, but with ARS, its considerably less.
Many thanks DHP is my next test drive, once i find a car that has it.
