I've already lowered it from M-sports suspension another 15mm with Eibach Pro Kit.

I might at a later point consider a proper coilover setup, but not at the moment.

thanks for all the kind comments so far.
Has cost a few calories, which I am just recharging with a few bottles of fine brew.

May I ask where you had the Eibach Pro suspension fitted? Was it somewhere in the UK? Thinking of something similar for mine...

Yes, it actually was the local mechanic, I have always used for all my former and older BMW. Not one of the so called BMW independents with the diagnostic kit, but an excellent technician and changing the springs only requires engineer/mechanical knowledge. Quite a timely job, though. Had quotes from so called BMW indy's that didn't have a clue what was required of up to 600 quid. My guy did it perfectly and charged me 150 quid. Took him the best part of 3-3.5 hours. I am in Hinckley in the midlands.
