I just recently went with Koni Special Actives (and the ECS kit) with stock springs at 71k. Ride is smoother (as to be expected with new). Ride Height is obviously the same, and handling is slightly better but the leap in handling is not what one should expect with Koni yellows (had them on E28).
One weird thing, though. I have an 2" x 3" area on oil cooler cover where right front wheel rubs (225s on 313s) when turned hard to left. Enough rub to keep plastic clean, but at this point does not seem to be wearing. |

I'm roughly at the same mileage as OP and considering an overhaul of my suspension as it feels the ride quality has degraded over the last 10k.
I have a set of eibach pro kit springs, and a pair of both Bilstein B8 fronts and Koni yello fronts from a previous car. Seeing as my car is strictly street driven, ride quality and comfort are my priority. Debating selling the shocks and going with Koni FSD if they're even smoother than OE. asbrr Do you have a photo of your car showing the ride height? I have Dinan camber plates sitting around as well, curious how they pair with the Eibachs. I hate the rake all spring set ups give the E82, so if I could raise the front to match the rear gap better, that'd be great.

Hard question to answer. Ride with Koni Special Active is definitely better than the day before they went on. That was at 72k. Hard to remember/compare ride when I got car at 50k. Think most people would have tough time objectively answering question from when new to when replaced - too long a time gap. I am happy with Special Active. |

Note that the 135i is a tad heavier in the front so rake is probably more of a concern for you than a 128i. I think fresh strut mounts at the front with Dinan plates will make it perfectly level for you. EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention the driveway is not perfectly flat, the rear may look like it has more wheel gap but on a fully flat surface it's very even front to back. |

Interesting! Thanks for posting the pic. That ride height is virtually identical to mine as it sits right now on stock M-Sport suspension. Wondering if I should even bother with the Eibach springs then. I really only want the rear to come down a smidge.

It's definitely a drop from M-sport, not the biggest compared to other springs like Swift Spec R or H&R Race (horrible rake with those). |
