Dealer installed options for lowering 328 xi?

Wondering if anyone can comment on what options there might be for some suspension improvements on a 2009 328 xi (without sports suspension)

ideally, i'd like the ride tighter and a moderate lowering (maybe 1")

if there are multiple options, feel free to rate/critque them.

thx.

When I checked, I was told there are none by the dealer.

If you go to a dinan certified dealer you can go the Dinan route.

yeah, Dealer has confirmed that Dinan doesn't make anything and there is nothing they have to offer.

Guess I'll have to look to/speak to some others. (Dealer did give local reference so will try there...plus another place I know reasonably well)

Thanks all.

I'll browse around for aftermarket options, but i'm new to the suspension mod world so if anyone has strong opinions...happy to hear 'em

landed (shipping+customs) with installation, tax in including a followup alignment - you'll be at $1900-2000 CAD.
