I'd rather not get coils, but if that's my only option, then so be it. And to mention, I do want a stiffer setup over stock, and am not opposed to lowering the suspension modestly.
personally i'm very impressed with koni yellows and stock ZHP springs. replace the top mounts, tune the dampers to your liking, and enjoy. it can be anywhere from a little more controlled than stock (and comfy) to stiff and a lot more controlled than stock.
if you're going to lower it i would use eibach pro-kit springs - they maintain the F/R factory spring balance, which BMW actually did a killer job with on these cars.
