I test drove both when I was looking. While both DHP and non-DHP X3s provide an excellent and stable ride, for me, the DHP was just a little bit better. My wife likes the ride in 'comfort' and I like to run 'sport' with the chassis only setting. It is fun to be able to change the car's response depending on your driving style, the road conditions and how much 'feedback' you want. The DHP also gives you variable sport steering, which stiffens up the steering in sport and sport+.
The final decision is, of course, up to the purchaser. I looked at budget, use, expectations and long-term service and reliability. Ride quality is always a consideration and I felt that DHP was one of those options that 'just made sense' to add to the car. I'm very glad we have it, but the X3 has a stunning ride feel without it, too. I don't know what the option price is in the UK, but for $1400 here in the US, it was an easy decision to make.
