Adjustable shocks / struts question

Hi! I am the proud new daddy to a 2008 535i Sports/Premium package with 50k miles on it. My front struts are shot so I decided to upgrade the suspension. This car is my daily driver so I am not interested in changing the springs (road feel, height). However, as I've done in cars I've owned in the past, would like to fit adjustable shocks. That way I can change the handling characteristics a bit when I go to the track. Here's my problem: I've only found the Koni adjustables as an alternative and these are only externally adjustable in the front. The rear requires to remove the shock in order to adjust. Are there any other options out there that offer what I'm looking for? Thanks.

From personal experience and preference I've always chosen koni over any other adjustable shock. I had koni yellows in my old E39 and if I ever upgrade in my current bmw (E60) I would choose koni.
The other company I would recommend would be bilstein
