    E 39 Strut ???

    I have a 540i with m sport and I am happy in its performance on the street . I will try a practice session with the SCCA Autocross and see if I can get a little under or over steer. What can I hope for with stock struts and how many miles are they good for? The aftermarket struts can get pricey so with the Forums help I would like to get the right level of performance equipment the first time. Struts , springs , and tires , where do I start? I am sure ppl have gone overboard and paid a lot for something that will handle a lot more than they will ever need . Do I get a strut and spring package ? Do I need to include sway bars ? The overall ride is nice and the car doesn't lean much in a hard corner. Am I overthinking this, BMW spends money on R&D to make a fine car . Who is a good source to go to for this equipment. I have Toyo Proxies on the car now, and they do well for a DOT tire. Thanks for any replies and yes I should have bought a M5
