To be honest with you I don't know much about E46 suspension options. Most of my mods are limited to my M3. I have heard that sways alone do very little. Also a guy I auto-x with (he is very fast), owns an E46 and he only replaced the shocks with Konis leaving springs stock (sport). He LOVES that setup because of the adjastability. All I know is that the out-of-the box ZHP seems to have a little more body roll than I'd like to see, slightly stiffer springs will cure that to some degree.
It really all comes down to how crappy the roads are where you live and what it is that you do with your car. For us, in the snow belt, ride height is also an issue in snow.
I just did wide-angle DS mirror, belts, intake filter, microfilter, plugs, and oil (69k miles). Next up (this week): fuel filter and differential oil. After that, it's thermostat & housing (OE), coolant pump (EMP Stewart), OE hoses and a coolant flush, followed by rear pads & rotors. Spring will see new PS2s on stock M135s. And then, the Stage 1 speaker upgrade from BSW, as one of my mids is blown. Then, PS mirror, detailing, and (maybe)
Ran out of money after the holidays... thinking of something cheap, like the aluminum foot pedals. John
