Air ride on an xdrive...?

I know some people have done it but I’m seriously considering going this route. I love my car (2011 e92) but it’s lowered on kwv1 and I’m afraid of replacing axels to the point I never drive it.
I’m thinking air ride would be the way to go?
Never have to worry about it again. However, how do they hold up in cold winter climates? I’m in New England.

Also, I’ve seen some kits on the 2-5k range. Seems like a huge difference. K sport makes a reasonably priced kit for 2800.

What do I look for when choosing a kit? I understand I need 4 bags. Possibly rear struts and a management system. I never plan on tracking the car, so ultimate handling limitations doesn’t bother me.
Help!

I have airlift performance with 3P management on two of my 08 e92 335xi cars and love it. The only thing I had to do that RWD 3 series don't is to get some custom front sway bar endlinks made, as the ones that come with the kit are too short. This results in the front sway bar holding up the front of the car when aired out (about two inches), but with the longer endlinks the front can air out all the way. I drive my car as a year-round daily in Michigan and the only issue I've had is my cheap check valve freezing, which can be remedied with a better water trap setup or by just wrapping your hand around it for a few seconds on cold mornings.
