Every BC Coilover I have had experience with on other applications has been bad. On my STi the dampening characteristics were poor and didn't allow the spring to move at all, it had next to no travel so on bigger bumps the tire wouldn't be in touch with the ground and the shock bodies/locking collars all corroded and seized up. On a Mazdaspeed 3, two or three separate times I saw dampers blow with no abuse and under 1,000 miles. I would say all they're good for is a cheap way to slam your car if that's your thing... Otherwise it's an expensive way to get a poor riding suspension. The ER series I hear isn't too bad though, but I don't think they make them for the 135i.
