Best chassis/suspension mod for M135i?

Learned forumites, I wonder if there is a generally accepted modification, that will sort out the bodyroll/squirminess of the standard chassis without sacrificing the ride comfort?

I wondered if a set of springs and coilovers from a respected provider might do the job? If so, can anyone recommend a tuner/supplier that has worked on the M135i with positive results? e.g., Birds/Litchfield/AC Schnitzer?

I'd like more incisiveness from the front end without the masses of roll, and then I'd like the car to deal with a dose of mid corner throttle without squirming and rocking. The standard suspension just can't cope well with fast changes of direction and throttle application in order to adjust the cornering attitude....

Ideally I don't want to spend thousands of pounds and muck up the car's handling/ride......

I have H&R springs, quaife, and Birds ARBs. Takes out all the slack in stock system without having roller skate ride.

Not to far from you if you wanted to meet up to have a look and a ride.
