Question about new suspension
I have 101K on my car and want to replace suspension. I don't need anything top of the line. The #3 rated would do LOL. I plan to do the front first then the back. Any suggestions on brands? Is OEM an option? Cost? Should I buy a package?

you should replace the entire suspension at the same time, especially if you are going aftermarket. If you want to stick with OEM, more than likely, you can just replace your shocks and struts and call it a day. You can replace with OEM, or get something like Koni FSD for a bit more performance and comfort.

I'd suggest checking out the H&R Cup kit, which is priced very conservatively for what you get. Shocks/springs combo that were designed to complement each other, think of it as a coilover setup w/o the adjustability

They come in the kit. Shocks cannot be bought separate. You can buy the springs w/o the shocks. Although I do not recommend you putting H&R springs on your stock shocks.

Other than the shocks and springs, is there anything else I should order? Prices? Again, it's a 2006 325i automatic on 17" tires. I only require good performance, not top of the line.

No the cup kit is really good and it's all you need. Just make sure to get the TOURING Cup kit. The race cup kit will make your car extremly low.

if you don't want anything to be lowered, you can just get some bilstein hds or koni FSD/Yellows and then re-use the stock springs. Save you some cash if you are fine with the current stock ride height.

How about the BMW Performance suspension? I've been thinking of getting this.
