Does the adaptive dive and squat more than the 704 non adaptive m-sport?

On the G30 5 series, the consensus seems to be that the adaptive alone even in sport mode allows too much dive, squat and roll because the springs have to be softened vs. the fixed 704 suspension.

The posts I've seen over on the 5 forum all say that if you need adaptive, you need to get the Dynamic Handling Package which is Adaptive Dampers + Dynamic Roll Bars. Adding the adaptive dampers alone without the adaptive roll bars makes the car too floaty. On the 3, dynamic roll bars aren't an option, so I'm curious if the same problem exists.

Personally when I got my G30 I was fine with the non adaptive 704 M-Sport, and tend to think I'd get the same if I were to get a G20 or G80 but I'd have to try them
