M235i Squat

Anyone else notice when under Wot the car seems to squat a decent amount?
Is there any way to reduce this other than springs or coilovers?
Would bushings make the rear feel a little bit more planted?
Does anyone make them?

Specifically, I feel any steering input while wot feels a bit squirmy... And no I am not talking about breaking traction. A good example would be on a highway rolling 50 going wot and changing a lane.

I think I know the feeling you mean. I only notice it WOT on twisties on a mountin run I use very occasionally. To me it feels like the harder you push, the car just hunkers down around the corner, grips more, and you can push harder.

I just assumed it was the adaptive suspension doing its thing.

It's probably the weight transfer when you accelerate...
