I have a bilstein coilover setup. Its a little harsh and wanted to go back to "stockish"
bavauto is literally a 15 minute drive from work. their sport springs are $100
I need struts and all the associated hardware.
any recommendations on brand and models?

I'd go with the OE Bilstein B4s - excellent value and solid performance.

are those Eibach springs? either way, if youre not using stock springs (Bilstein b6) go with Bilstein b8.
I cant recommend the b4 if youre on lowering springs, as these will perhaps last you 10000 miles till theyre worn out or broken again
I would get the OE Sachs struts and shocks.
I prefer Koni's twin-tube shock/strut design over Bilstein's mono tube design.
Bilsteins just ride horribly on the E39, plain and simple.

Looking for an E39 belly pan , passenger front inner fender liner …
Good input, gives me a place to read and review, and hopefully make a decent informed decision.
Only down side, if it rides that much nicer I might lose the car to the wife.
B8 ftw
