Why on earth would anyone want their BMW to ride and drive like a lexus?

You have a 128i so it doesn't apply to you, but all US market 135i's came with M-Sport suspension, and the only dampers to pair with M-Sport springs are the B8 dampers which are designed for lowering springs. Your sport package 128i came with sport springs which are a different story, though they're probably low enough to pair with B8 dampers, but I wouldn't be shocked if they work fine with B6 dampers as well.
