128i OEM "M"pack vs. H&R Suspension

Hello friends, I'm thinking about putting some new shoes on my car,
19 inches to be exact, My car already comes with the "M" sport suspensions.
What do you recommend? Change the original suspensions to H & R, Eibach, etc.? Or keep the original suspension with the 19-inch wheels?

Thanks in advance

bilstein b8 with swift has been great for light track duty and spirited street. the H&R tends to be too raked for my tastes. The swifts have the right drop without being slammed and the B8's are firm enough without a sharp compression hit over expansion joints.
my 2 cents

It's more about the look, my plan is to put 19 inch rims, VOSSEN CVT, but I'm worried that the tires will rub with the fenders if I go with any aftermarket suspension.
