THe Ohlins are a great set-up, however (and this was my biggest question which you answered) I have no idea if the springs that come with the kit are the best option.
There is a guy named John Mueller who sets up cars (mostly Evos) here in SoCal and sells a bunch of Ohlins R&T kits. His shop Muellerized set up the Motons on my Evo, and he's got an in-house shock dyno.
I know he's set up a 1M with Motons and he's done a few GT-R's on the R&T's. So if you're in SoCal, he's a suspension guy you can trust to set up the car properly. And he'll find you a correct set of springs and set the dampening up accordingly. Plus, you know, he'll take you on a "Hell Ride" after your car is done to show you everything it can do

Define "joke." Filling in all that void area with firmer polyurethane can't hurt. And if they truly are a "joke," you've only wasted $50 and an hour of labor. It's a good short cut if you have a budget to keep in mind...plus, with labor M3 rear subframe bushings have effectively doubled his original budget. Whiteline sells a decent number of these because they were on national back order.
For me, with the B12 kit, the inserts should be just fine and perfect for a DD. I do not want to open a can of worms and start adding stuff to the 335i. I've already done that with the Evo. Lesson learned
