Have you checked the preload on your swaybars?

I had a Toyota Corolla and a BMW 3 series between these two cars, but I presume my driving style hasn't changed so much between the two that the difference between the 2013 and the 2016 is caused by something i'm doing.

I know there are differences in the suspension between these years, so whatever they have done has really changed things up in this regard. (wild guess)

I'm not one to throw money and parts at something, but I'd really like to get this solved. It's dangerous, and worse, embarrassing as hell when you are trying to exit with style
You can always take it in for an alignment, and ask the guy to loosen and re-tighten the swaybar endlinks while it's on the rack.
