Driving impressions after the E93 M3 front, and Whiteline 20mm upgrade:

Quite unexpected but the ride comfort has improved significantly. The Whiteline bar uses polyurethane greased bushes so the bar moves freely in the bushing. This is in contrast to the OEM style bushes which uses a rubber bushing that twists instead.

The roll stiffness has been improved, rear still unloads a bit at low speed corners (possibly needed a slightly stiffer front bar or softer rear bar) but looks like it can be probably dialed out with the damping adjustments. The DTC (single press) still flashes at low speed corners but with DSC off, it seems like there is plenty of low speed grip and is just a sign the DTC is intervening a bit too preemptively.

Taking medium speed corners the car doesn't roll as much and feels a bit more composed. Will need to drive it more to make a better judgement but seems like a step in the right direction
