Change to Msport - springs only?

Yes I do enjoy the supreme comfort of my GT with the standard chassis, but it is a bit soft around corners.....:-)
I am thinking about having the 15mm lower M-sport springs fitted, am I ok with only doing the springs, and no roll bar / shock change? There is a HUGE difference in cost, and the car is only 5 months old....

No difference in suspension between xDrive Msport and xDrive non Msport. If yours is RWD, springs dampers and anti roll bars are all different

It's RWD... Is there a big difference?
Also considering a -25mm brand new AC Schnitzer kit supposed to be ok with standard dampers/roll bar.. Hm.

Wait, Norway gets RWD option? So a person living in Miami or L.A. is stuck with ordering AWD, but someone in Oslo or Bergen can get RWD? Unless I completely misunderstand what the point of an AWD BMW is, that makes absolutely no sense.

I would want more drop than M-Sport offers...I have to guess the Schnitzer or KW options would be more aggressive/sporty than M-Sport as well. If you go the full M-Sport option (springs, dampers, etc), you'd probably be better served with KW's coil-overs.

In my opinion even springs will not help... I was bit confused when first drive 3GT - it is not a car borned for SPORT DRIVING...

Do you have any photos how does it look like with Schnitzer or KW?
