Hey Matt,
I didn't actually go for Ohlins as they wanted an extra £750ish for the m3 version which I needed due to my rear end setup. Therefore I went for a custom set of AST 4100s which came in at a good price and I have since changed the spring rates again for a better on road feel.
As far as Ohlins vs Birds B3 is concerned, if money was no object then I would go for the Ohlins without a doubt. Ask anyone who has ever been in a car equipped with Ohlins and they will never have a bad thing to say about them.
Saying that I know there is a chap on here with a grey 325i running Ohlins, think his name is Phil IIRC.
I would get motorsport company to set the car up for you. Someone like Spires who come with a good reputation would be a place to contact.
