If you've been happy with the ride and handling over the last 80K miles, then just renew the OEM dampers. Cheapest option by far...

If you want to improve suspension and stay OEM you can get BMW Perf Susp Kit, search. The damping is much better than OEM ZSP and is not that expensive if you are going to keep your car for another 3-5 years or longer. It also lowers the car a small amount but is not slammed and will work perfectly with 19s. Highly recommended if you can afford it and want OEM engineering.

HI recently installed eibach pro kit with bilstein b4s dampers and the shorter bump stops. Cars a bit lower and the ride is really nice no thumps or bumps when going over any thing rough.

If you don't plan to lower the car, Koni Yellow struts and shocks work great with OE or sport springs and yields a great ride. |

if youre willing to spend a bit more, ST coilovers are fantastic. I just installed them 3 weeks ago. I also go to De Anza so if you wanna go for a ride and see how they feel just PM me!
