This might be worn rear subframe bushings or differential mount. If those are OK, it could indicate worn shocks. Since you don't specify understeer or oversteer here's some info:

Corner entry understeer:
Front shocks are too soft in bump resistance or -
Too much front toe-in; use a small amount of front toe-out.

Corner entry oversteer:
Rear shocks are too soft in rebound.
Rear ride height is too high (too much rake) compared to front.

My brother's M5 still has the original SLS rear which works great. Problem is the handling sucks during high-speed corner entry!

I am a fan the interactive (self-leveling) suspension. I have in one of my previous 6 -coupes changed to bilstein--biggest mistake of the car's life it hoovered.

And don't even think about mcpherson strutts--been there done that.
