|E60| Struts on a Budget? Opinions?

Hey guys,
I have began searching around for strut replacements (2 front.) I am leaning towards Sachs but am also looking for affordable alternatives. I saw Bilstein Touring struts for around $170 for the set not including the mounts which I am also going to purchase (OEM brand)
Here are the Bilsteins:
BMW Strut Assembly Front (E60 E61 5 Series) Bilstein Touring 22-138361 | FCP Euro
Anyone have any experience or reviews on these, I was unable to find a lot of information on them for the E60. I am looking for struts that would last me 2-3 years as I am most likely going to sell and upgrade to an F10.
Car is an 05' 525i at stock height, control arms were replaced as well.
Reason I am searching around is that my pass side strut has a leak and the thumps are more loud & pronounced.
Thanks!
